It has been shown over and over that multiple hits simultaneously have much better shock value than one single projectile and a small one at that. If someone is in doubt, for a one on one comparison pull a 450+grain slug and a 55grain bullet set them side by side and ask which one would you rather get hit by if you had to.

If they want to get extreme pull 30 of those little 55 grain bullets and 120 00buck pellets and set side by side.

I can personally lay out all 120 pellets in 2-3 seconds not even full auto comes close on a one to one projectile basis, this can also be done with 000 buck if ya want to shoot through people some of the time.

I'll go head to head with anyone who has an AR against my M1SUPER90 at point blank, guarranteed I'll get more lead on target and faster than they will.

If you want to doubt the 12ga you better compare it to something worthy of the title firepower. The flamethrower takes all.
