For the non-firearms owner that decides they need a gun for the Pandemic. it's for newbies but it is still very useful information.
Here are his Top 5 Guns for Home Defense
I like his analysis of the safety feature of the old style Winchester vs the modern shotguns.
Paul Harrell again.
His point is to use something less than 00 Buck. I use #4 buck in my 12 and 20 if available. He suggests #3 for a 20 Gauge since it's more readily available. The #4 Buck is approximately .22 caliber balls that won't over-penetrate. The #3 buck is .25 caliber with 20 of them in a 20 gauge shell. It also didn't over-penetrate.
This is an add-on video I found that I won't endorse if you don't like strong language with lots of cussing. His wall penetration efforts and explanations are helpful though and this is what we are here to see.
Video - strong language if you are sensitive to this or have kids in the room you may want to skip it.
Interesting test. I always like to see wall penetration. I already knew that the sound volume from an AR is way too high for interior firing and the same with magnum rounds unless you have ear protection.
The shotgun is great for stopping but if you're using buckshot it still has a penetration problem passing through all wall materials and hitting innocents. He doesn't discuss changing the type of round to use that will change the amount of penetration. A Shotgun can be easily adjusted for the task by changing the type of round. Shotgun masters know this.
It looks as if the 9mm JHP is the answer for most users which most of us already knew but he showed it going through a test dummy and then multiple wall materials but not the excessive penetration that came with the other ones.
Still, it all comes down to the choice of ammunition to determine penetration, expansion, and over-penetration.
