AR or shotgun ???

For riots an AR may be viable as you could thin them out @ 300-yards-ish.
You said in-home, though. I've been considering the 615 grain option as a "1st shot". Probably go through 2 of them easily.
 
Not one person recommend me the AR
More of a down range weapon....not close quarters ...........I've never fired one.........fired a lot of weapons........

Sounds kinda like the M16......that you can hold with one hand and shoot the thing right next to your nuts........LOL

I think if I had the money I'd get a M1 ...........that weapon was a killing machine in WWII.....wouldn't mind having one.............but it's still not a close quarters weapon.

I want close quarter with max splatter ‘!!!
The Benelli M4

Remington 20 gauge..........cheaper and a good weapon.
 
Not one person recommend me the AR

Requires discipline and training.. That's why... It's perfectly good for home defense as well.. But doesn't meet your requirement to not penetrate DEEPLY into your home..

I have a semi auto that's the same idea as an AR but isn't as cool looking.. But that's because of the wildlife that LOVES my yard.. The coyotes and bob cats just sit there and stare at me if I don't run them off... Defending my giant flock of wild turkeys during their nesting season...

Antifa thug —-yes
 
For home defense ??
I hope this is the correct forum

I am not into pistols
I need a weapon as follows

1)very accurate and easy to shoot
2) it cannot penetrate walls and harm neighbors
3) very rarely Jams and super easy to clean
4) very low maintenance
5) not too much kick
6) can take out several “ pests “


I fired a .40 and it was a disaster. Too much kick
I read the 9 mm Has weak stopping power
I did ok on a super heavy revolver of .38
Thx !!!
Undoubtedly, one of the ultimate home defense weapons is the Remington 870 shotgun. Supremely reliable, you can load it with #8 birdshot for the first 1 oe 2 shells, just to show authorities you tried, then all the rest with 00 buck. Take no prisoners.
I was thinking semi-auto 20 gauge. Now, I am not familiar with those. Not sure about reliability.
(feeding, etc..)
Let's face it, 20 gauge is for pussies and women. If you want to be sure to stop someone, you want a 12 guage. You can always load it with something lighter than 00 buck or as a warning shot to chase away the intruder to placate local authorities. You get hit even with #4 or #8, you will definitely know it.

I like the idea of a semi auto especially in a bull pup, you just gotta be willing to be sure to get yourself one proven to be reliable.

And of course, one should ALWAYS carry a sidearm and a good knife for backup. Chance favors the prepared. Plan for success.

The OP kept worrying about the kick.........LOL

So 20 gauge is less kick.........Now if you want a bucking hell of a kick......Hawkins 50 Caliber black powder..........I loved shooting that one...........LOL
