I have seen lots of amateur trap shooters short chuck their guns on doubles or second shots and they shoot much more than the average Joe. It is a very real issue.
I have never seen anyone shooting trap doubles with a pump

I understand the issues of AR vs shotgun, but why is the AR a better choice compared to a pistol-caliber carbine?.....especially one chambered in .357 Mag, .45ACP, or .40S&W?
I have shot at clubs where half the people are using the same gun they use for deer. Lots in the less elitist clay games also. Five stand for instance.I have never seen anyone shooting trap doubles with a pump
I’ve got an interesting powerpoint slide in the topic of the relative terminal effects of pistol caliber carbines vs. shotguns vs. intermediate caliber rifles bs. real rifles from ARDEC’s 2017 NDIA presentation. I’ll try to post something up on it later.
LE and SWAT definitely use their ammo and rifles enough to be statistically relevant
I've seen enough body cam footage of ARs in police hands to not doubt them in the slightest.Whenever did anyone ask about special forces?
I mean we aren’t shooting across a valley. We are talking about the living room.
Everyone needs to understand that there’s a good chance that a bad guy won’t go down with the first shot, no matter what you use. A person can very easily be taken down in one shot, but you can’t count on it. The best bet it to use something that you can shoot again accurately.
Not everyone has the option to put a rifle or shotgun in every room, especially if there’s kids around.
I guess .223 should come with warnings “This Product is NOT Suitable for Defensive Use. This ammunition will not stop aggressors. Should you attemp to use this ammunition in a defensive manner, the perpetrator will magically remain unharmed while the projectile will reek havoc on the neighborhood. The producer of this timid .223 ammunition, recommends using whatever mystery ammunition “TopTier Operators” have discovered in the generous governmental deep pockets. They keep it next to the unicorn dust.
This is the simplest question with the simplest answer but it always gets blown out of proportion.
Q: Can you use .223/5.56 ammunition for defense?
A: yes, use expanding ammunition not military ammunition.
See, it’s not that hard.
Statistical relevance is just a numbers game.
Combat is not home defense,
that is illegal in many states to be used for Deer Hunting
You aren’t going to get consistent one round incapacitation on a human being from anything remotely man portable.
Flamethrower?
