Mossberg has an article in their 2008 Annual that basically says birdshot is absolutely not adequate for home defense, with 7 1/2 shot failing to fully penetrate 2" of mixed meat and bone from a distance of 5 feet! i.e., "Upon closer inspection I discovered that the meat had completely absorbed the majority of the shot. A few tiny pellets had punched through the cardboard around the meat but none passed through. 2" of meat/bone from 5 feet! Pitiful performance. Now even if it was a typo and was meant to be 15', or even 25'. that just isn't good enough.
