>>2338037I own an AR and PTR, and I love them dearly, but the sheer amount of lead from 3" or 3 1/2" buckshot shells of any kind is unparalleled. Many shotguns also have 7 shells without an extension, and any shotgun with an extended tube can fit 7-9 rounds. With a semi auto shotgun youre measuring lead downrange in a pounds/second burst mass at that point, the same cannot be said for rifles. Refer to the 30 Pencils posts, at least 15 shots through and through at close range. Hurr durr muh stopping power of rifles.
