The shoot out in LA should convince all but the hardest nuts that the shotgun is not the best tool for urban fighting (unless several parameters are assured). No body armor, close ranges, and while using buckshot. |

I would choose the "Assualt Rifle" although I wouldn't choose a full-auto rifle. I would pick either a high end AK (like and Arsenal or Vepr) or the M1A Socom 16. I am not a big fan of the .223 cartridge. The 7.62 rounds will penetrate barriers better, which I would be likely to encounter. I could carry more ammo than with a shotgun and have a longer time between reloads.
With that in mind I have a Remington 870 18.5" barrel that I use for Home Defense. It's a slick gun that shoots really well. With the Knoxx Compstock and rifle sights I can easily put a 1oz slug COM at 50 yards. I am confident I can defend myself adequately with it and it sure as heck didn't cost me the $1600 the Socom 16 would. |

Again I offer you the opportunity to compete at the next Threegun match in this area. We can see just how inadequate or incompetent I am. |

I think I'm gonna faint from shock if one of these debates fades out quietly instead of biting the bullet for personal attacks.
It sure ain't gonna happen with this one. Closed.
