realistically no. mini shells fire at much lower pressure so you'd definitely get issues with cycling.
shotguns are perfectly fine for home defense, its preference at that point.
A rifle is more effective and easier to use.
what do you mean by "more effective"? rifles and shotguns both get the job done perfectly adequately.
Sub 30 yards a shotgun will be way more destructive no argument. People survive rifles in 5.56 all the time, but a load of buck or large birdshot within 15 yards will blow a fucking massive hole into whoever is in your house. Criminal can't win or waste your time in court if he's stuck to your wall. 10 shells should hopefully be enough to finish the job as you probably don't have that many chances as well. If need be, retreat and get something better suited for the situation.
At the end of the day, pistols, ARs, and shotguns have advantages and disadvantages, but I just don't think they're large enough to justify saying "x is better than y." It is up to preference at that point.
Jesus I fucking hope so.
A person will be able to engage more effectively due to reduced recoil of a semi auto rifle compared to a shotgun, especially a manually operated shotgun. Manually operated guns also run increased risk of user induced malfunctions. There are good reasons why sub machine guns replaced shotguns, and carbines replaced sub guns.
People survive getting shot by lots of stuff as long as you don’t hit anything vital. Bird shot is a bad idea if you want to cause a physical stop of an attacker. Well placed 00 buck can be devastating, but so can well placed hollow point rifle rounds.
How's that brake working out for you? I was thinking about putting a Cookie Cutter on my Dissipator.
Do you hate everyone on the range? Do you hate seeing? Do you hate hearing? If you answered yes. That brake is for you. That said, it does its job very well.
Ummm, ackshually, neither of those are coatings, they are surface treatments.
This video hasn’t been reposted for a couple pages now, so I’ll embed it again:
short answer: no
Like this "meow meow meow keep your paws off the trigger until ready to shoot and meow meow always assume a gun is loaded meow and be sure if your target and what's beyond it meow meow meow"
Just about any Sig P320 can be fucked by pure chance through manufacturing defects that could have been accounted for if the FCU wasn't outsourced to retards.Maybe late, but I scrolled back a few pages & didn't see anything about this:
Ah I see. Cool. Still want a M&P 2.0 in 40, but that is neat to know about the USP. Maybe when I have more money, I can make that a thing.
It's why I chose to get a SKS over a shotgun way back when. Now I do need a shotty to complete my collection still, but on the semi auto rifle point, there's way less recoil and more accuracy in a rifle than in a shotgun. That's just a fact. And follow up shots are easy as pie.
At least "Glock Leg" wasn't due to pistols failing due to faulty parts, just inattention and bad training.
