Did someone just compare the stopping power of the .223 to a 12 gauge 00 buck shot? I know there are alot of AR fan boys out there but come on. Recoil? Get some controlled recoil to help with that and over penetration as well. We won't even compare ft lbs of energy. Sure, the .223 can be used as a home defense round, but it is nowhere near better than a 12 gauge. Think of what stopping power is. 9 .33 caliber pellets are going to cause alot more trauma and blood loss then a 55 grain .223 round. And as for price, I shoot cheap 6 shot at the range and baught a couple boxes of 00 for home protection.
