A long gun is not good for home defense. A pistol is much better in CQC. Also a shotgun does require much less aiming in a high stress situation. You're just being silly.

A 16" barrel AR is going to be much easier for someone with very little experience in CQC using than a damn shotgun or a handgun. They're not fucking marines...

Also birdshot is not a slug.

Never said it was. Literally said it's basically a slug at 10' in a home. Shit is not fanning out to a huge wall of pellets like the comment basically says.

Those are literally two different things. That's two different kinds of ammo, what are you talking about. A slug has way more mass, which is a hug factor in penetration. Wtf is this nonsense.

Please re-read what I said...no where did I state it was a slug.

Source: bored out of my mind in the UMSC stained at 29 Palms and did Mohave Viper combat training stuff a ton. Try to clear a tight building with an AR and you realize how easy it is to just grab a barrel as you try to clear a room.

Cool, no one is fucking clearing their damn homes like they're in Iraq...

Yes, they're not Marines, meaning it's even easier for someone to just grab the gun around the corner and make it useless. If you get into a scuffle a hand gun is going to still be able to be used.

I mean sure, if you don't care about what's outside or neighbors. There's a big difference on penetration there.

Exactly my point. Clearing a house effectively with a long gun is much harder than a hand gun. You have to be aware of blind corners and peaks where the barrel can be grabbed before you even see the person. That was my point. A handgun remains effective in a melee.
