In an Infantry movement after SHTF in an urban environment, a good shotgunner can replace your M-203 gunner and an automatic rifleman. As far as machine-gunner goes, one 00 buckshot 2 3/4 inch will spray 9 .36 caliber bullets at the enemy all at once!! The grenadier? And/or the sniper: Slugs will punch through concrete like nobody's business!! With great mid-range accuracy, too!!

@BillyJackson570 If you've got a 12 gauge shotgun you have the ability with 00 buck to hit the enemy with 9 (2 3/4 inch slugs) .36 caliber bullets all at once. Or you can punch the bad guy with the equivalent of a .50 caliber by going with slugs. A shotgun can truly replace a rifle if need be.

Plus not all semi autos will function with all 12ga ammo, LE/Low recoil etc. All 12ga pumps capable of firing 3" shells can fire all 3" shells.

Agree Shotgun can not replace a rifle and and rifle can not replace a shot gun...two different tools for two different jobs...

Several houses? Is that a magic bullet....

I Like the Mossberg Maverick w/pistol grip, may hold off a few mauraders but when the UN Military Police arrive they will confiscate whatever you have. Safest bet- but only .0001% will do it is get out of town as far into a rural area as possible completely off the grid.

@DavidGilmourRox I live in a condo so I must control for over penetration. 00 buck will go clean through these walls and #4 is hard to get in my area. The idea of self defense is to stop the attack and if the bad guy dies in the process so be it. If anyne gets hit in face, chest, stomach, crotch, or thighs with a load or 2 of #7; if they live they will not want to play the game anymore. I do have a nice store of slug and 00 for the right time.
@theeastwatch yes I do prefer pumps. I really like autos no mistake, but in the SHTF world pumps offer more dirt and mud reliability.

Great Video! Lots of great info! Im an 870 man myself. Whatever works for you. I agree with you, there are a lot of people who feel theyre going to go raiding homes with their $2k ARs. Those people are gun donors. Sooner or later theyll come across someone whos going to relieve them of their weapon. I agree the shotgun is more than capable of defending against a mob. The shotgun is a formidable weapon. Nothing but pump action for me-reliable and can fire different types of loads.Stay safe!!
