Yes that is gory, but I believe that it illustrates the effectiveness of a shotgun for home defense, and that you do not necessarily need all the buckshot and slugs and buzzwords to protect your castle.
Nobody claimed you necessarily need buckshot or slugs to protect your castle. Such loads are just more advantageous than lessor loads. That is the point.

As for buzzwords, your accounting is a little overly dramatic.

He reached inside his house and retrieved his turkey gun and hit one of the brothers full in the face at approximately 45 feet, disassembling his skull instantly. He then put a load of #4 turkey shot into the second brother knocking him down.
The skull was not disassembled. It may have suffered some fragmentation, but that is the nature of the skull. It is composed of a lot of bones that can come apart.

Additionally, a load of #4 turkey shot did not knock down the second brother. He may have gone down after being hit, but there simply isn't the force in a shotgun load to knock down a person.
