Actually, it does. It all depends where you place the rounds.
Or if you turn the bad guy's brain into mush.
Maybe they can use the FORCE?..
There you go with the blood pressure again. You ever seen someone strung on Angel Dust, leaking like faucet and still coming at you? I have.
This I agree with. Someone did a study and proved that it takes less time for someone with a knife to get into stabbing range from 20 feet away than it takes your local average cop to pull his handgun out of his holster.
I didn't get that memo. Then again, I can shoot a 50MBG rifle standing up. I know, I'm a bad mofo. haha.
Sad but true.
Wrong. You still have to practice, even with a street sweeper... shotgun... You have to know where the safety is, be able to disengage it in a panic situation, get a good idea what the pattern of the particular shotgun is, and most important, you have to be familiar with the loud sounds a shotgun makes. Last thing you want is to miss (It actually happens) with a shotgun then scare yourself with the boom.
Now, most half intelligent crooks know what a shotgun rake sounds like. Very few will want to play after they hear that sound.
All in all, I agree. Home defense, you want a shotgun. Less risk of over penetration of the walls, (it kind of sucks when you pump 10 rounds into the bad guy, and 5 of them go clean through him, then through the wall behind him and into your sleeping kids), and of course, the best reason, the "Point and Click" interface.
Oh, and Glocks are overrated.
