what i am saying you would use a shotgun to shoto someone 100 yards away most people tell me not to hunt with one out to 50 or 60
and i do not mean a slug gun because you can not use shot in them

the only thing if you wont shotgun hunt at 100 yards why would you use one for defense at a 10 yards and when someone is in my house te only thing i wont them to hear is bang bang

I'm confused, please decipher this for me.

I'd pick a 12 gauge as well in this situation. I could use my AR with a flatop, EoTech, and backup irons though.
Well, that's "almost" deciphered.. lol

Like i said in my last post, a shotgun that's "set up" for buckshot, WILL also shoot slugs. And a shotgun with slugsIS a hundred yard weapon!!

That doesn't mean it's the "perfect" 100 yard weapon, but it will get the job done if needed. Keep in mind that the need for a 100 yard shot is slim at best.... so that makes a shotgun with slugs more than acceptable...

I forgot to add-My doberman and griffonlet me know well in advance of anyone getting close to my house.
I'd still use a shotgun to make up for anyaiming issues(scared****less, adrenalin,too dark to see or aim well)I might have in a home defense situation.
I can aim it well enough from the hip to hit somebody in the dark.
I would guess up to 40 yds. with my skeet barrel and 00 buckshot ifit was shouldered.
If there were no rules or limitations, an M-16 on full auto would be a great choice, with plenty of ammo.

i agree i think a shotgun for 100 is a good way to get shot dead i would take a ak47 ar15 or even abolt action and leave the shotgun for under 20
ORIGINAL: Briman

For 100 yards or less, I'd take a AKM over a shotgun, for 20 yards or less, I'd take the shotgun.

Do you think a shotgun with a slugisn't accurate at 100??? OR, do you think a slug wouldn't kill you at 100???

Wanna put some money up to prove me wrong in either case??

i can ee a slug gun with sabots but everyone i have talked to on here says not to hunt with a smoothbore out past 60 yards so whyw ould you use a shotgun out to 100 yards for defense if you wont use it for hunting
and you can not use shot in a rifled barrel so s slug gun is not good for close quarters

I have a buddy in Iowa that kills deer out to 150 yards with relative ease using a standard Benelli Super Black Eagle shooting slugs with an IC choke tube.
