Ahoy Pops,

"...if something goes bump in the night ..." [Pops1085]

Once I have shot my 5 or 6, and there are still BGs attacking (very unlikely) I would not bother trying a reload (just too risky in the dark, too many things can go wrong), would just toss the shotgun at the perp(s) and blast away with 45ACP and 44spl S&W (both revolvers, slow bullets, lower risk penetrators) till the attack is stopped.

Best of luck to you, and.... check your 6.
