What auto shotgun do you think is best for home defence

Hence the axiom: Train the same way that you think you will have to fight. What you do in training, you will do under pressure when your reptile brain kicks in.

Obviously, training with live ammo in your home is a no-no, but safely training with A Zoom snap caps should be.

Trust me, your brain is not going to do what you plan to. Okay when you can plan and control the situation. Infantry we seen people do alot of weird stuff, or get all messed up when it's dark, they are tired.

......which will happen,anyway,as a matter of course until Police have determined whether appropriate force was used in proportion to the degree of threat. The rest will be up to the Crown Attorney and a Judge. There's no way a human life can be taken without strong accountability.

Make sure to use good quality shells, and do a test run..............outdoors.

This

I have 2 pumps and both jam/double feed every so often with some ammo. If they do, its a lengthy process to clear. For that reason I would avoid a semi auto shotgun as well.

For that reason, if someone must use a shotgun I recommend a double barrel coachgun with external hammers.

If someone expects gun fights with multiple intruders then this will obviously not do and an overall different approach maybe on order.
 
Don't listen to the guys telling you to use a waterfowl shotgun type, you need a short barrel to move faster. Your choice, it's only your life on the line...

in case you are referring to me as "those guys" then be advised that a coach gun (16" - 18" barrel or less if you must) is not a waterfowl gun. Difference being about a foot or so in barrel length

Why being so sensitive? Who here said a coach gun falls into this category? I was about to propose it but the OP mentionned a semi...

the corona virus makes me sensitive . also it seems that you get bashed for everything you say :(

sorry to have mistaken your reply.
 
I'd say a pump would be good enough because you are either going to have sufficient time to pump all the shots you'll need because if you need a high cap semi you're pretty much screwed in any case. Apparently a whole lot of firearms designers agree that shorter is better in an urban situation so that would be a consideration.

You can get a Derya MK12 with the AS 46 10 rounds mag... Shooting 10 rounds of turkey loads, buck shots or slugs as fast as you can is pretty exciting.

I don't think my M4 has EVER jammed or malfunctioned.

That gun will be in my load out for the zombie apocalypse.
 
None. I'd prefer something other than a shotgun for home defense. Something with a round that will be lethal, but not have the penetration to pass though your intended target, then through your walls, into your kids room, neighbors house etc.

But lets say you're living alone out in the country. Well lets blow some holes in the walls... Benelli M4.
