Hey fella's with all of this bologna going on concerning AR's and high cap rifles and seeing how when everything is said and done the stores never seem to run out of shotgun shells it might just be enough to make me buy a shotgun. Would a 12 gauge with a smooth bore shooting slugs be able to reach out and hit my 12 inch gong if I wanted it to? Obviously I wouldn't just be doing stationary target shooting but I do want a gun thats stronger than a 22 and is cheap and plentiful to shoot. I just want to still be able to ring that gong once in a while haha. What do you think?
