this is true... but what else will you hit with it is the question?... what goes up must come down... if 2 of the 9 pellets miss the target then where do they go? thats the only point I am making... if you were staying at my huose and someone broke in and took you hostage I have no doubt in my mind I could one shot stop the situation with you getting no more than a little blood from the perp on ya... with shottys it's also hard to "flight" mechenisim rather than fight.. shottys are bulky and long to "get the hell outta dodge" and take new ground... many many reasons why handguns beat shotguns... but I am only one person.. the bottom line if you ask me is get what makes you feel comfy... if you get a shotty cause everyone says geta shotty and you hate it.. chances are you are going to use it bad during a real world situation... so go with what you want and like and most importantly can shoot half way decent...
personal prefrence....
but from a tactics and elemnation point of view I keep my HK... now if you want me to use a glock I will take the slingshot over the glock.. at least I know my hand will survive a slingshot
