Everyone I know who uses a shotgun for home defense uses #8 birdshot so that it doesn’t overpenetrate (Yeah, I know. HUUUUUGE sample size. :wink: )

Is there a reason he started with #4 shot and worked his way up?

#4 buckshot penetrated only six, but is a little light for stopping.

Well, that might be the answer. If #4 is a little light, then #8 would be worse.

#4 and BB size shot is excellent for hares and foxes, though. :wink:

I was always told that the only useful function of a laser sight was in a siege situation.
As soon as the bad guy sees the dot on his person he knows hes dead unless he surrenders right this instant.

How often do you check your chest for dots? No, when the bad guy sees the dot on his comical sidekick (followed by a hilarious look on sidekicks face), then he knows the gig is up.
