Here's my 2 cents.
There's a whole lot of WTF in this thread. For as much good info I've read here about bullet selection and construction im surprised to read people talking about an AR shooting through houses. Also, IMO racking the slide is about as smart as uncle joe teling people to shoot two blasts off the balcony. Why would you want to give up your location and weapon choice? If someone's in your house do you want them to know you have a weapon and where you are or would you rather have the element of surprise on your side?
You're assuming I don't already have one in the pipe :hump: All I have to do is flip on my strobe, confirm my target, and pull the trigger if need be. Your assumptions are coming off as arrogance. I'm using a weapon system I have trained with for years and know inside and out. A shotgun works perfectly for my house set up, and I know damned well all of you wannabe Rambo's out here would probably not be able to make the required shots under stress or coming out of a deep sleep. You get your fancy little red dot scopes or eotechs and think you're all set. Tell us how that works when someone does break in and starts to shoot at you first. I'd be willing to bet that at least half of you would piss your pants and drop your fancy AR. That's not me being a dick...that's brutal honesty coming from different combat zones. You get this false sense of security having 30 rounds, but those rounds have to be on target in order to be worth a damn. I'll take my buckshot knowing that I won't always have perfect shots and have a spread for the 'what if'. I'm old and have seen more combat than I care to remember, so I'm not about to play strategic war games with someone in my house in the middle of the night. I am firing for effect and damage, and I don't care if my weapon is pretty or fancy or the latest greatest fad. From my bedroom hallway to just about anywhere I can shoot to the way my house is set up, I'm flat out ruining someone's day with buckshot.
....and I don't have an Uncle Joe
