Re: Shotgun at short range
Wow ! LG Shot ? Recently took Slow-motion videos of us Clay pigeon shooting. Amazing to see the pellets from 7.5 Shot staying together even at +- 10 meters. I remember a Thread here on GS where the myth that a shotgun acts a broom to clear a Hallway etc was busted. And as most of us know by now, missing a target/clay/Popper with a Shotgun is quite possible

Re: Shotgun at short range
Many people believe/d that a shotgun spreads immediately after the shot has exited the barrel. In other words they think they can't miss with a Shotgun in a SD situation.

Re: Shotgun at short range
it is for this very reason that many loads of birdshot are recommended for home defense
there is a very similar spread pattern at 5m between them and 00 buck
a magnum load such as copper plated turkey shot is truly devastating at close range

Re: Shotgun at short range
And recommended by whom? Not people who by profession use firearms to neutralize armed threats, but those who had way too much time to theorize and make unfounded conclusions. Never, ever seen or heard of a police officer use bird shot, even if the collateral damage is a big no-no in police work, nor in the military operations. It's either a slug or a buckshot for the controlled incapacitating effect.
