To return to the topic of the thread, here's something quite special: four absolutely exquisite wheel-lock firearms from the collection of the Musee de l'Armee. Note that one of them has dual firing actions and one has a "one and a half" action with front and rear spark dogs on a single wheel; these are both adaptations for the fact that the complex clockwork mechanisms of a wheel lock could not be maintained in the field.

This is a cautionary tale from the internet. Some so called experts will just say stuff without showing any examples. Hence this chuckle head.



Yeah complete horseshit.

Other content creators will actually show you how it really is and have the receipts.



And he has a way better track record of putting out accurate information.

Honestly, if you have an AR and a conventionally laid out shotgun, you're better off with the AR.

Most shotguns don't come with adjustable stocks, leading to fucking horrible lengths of pull that require you to fire from the hip if you can't shoulder the damn things. Bullpup shotguns might be better, but I have no experience with them.

A number of lever action shotguns have a rifle stock that works really well!

I would personally rather a rifle. Less recoil

I think Massad Ayoob said it best. Any round that does not stay in the target. Has a Lawyer attached to it. And AR Round at Home Defense Range has a lot of Lawyers attached to them. And also you can get after market stocks for most brand name shotguns so that is a moot point.

I can unload more rounds on target with my AR then my Shotty.
Because I also don't want more of my house to have damage as well.

Plus, how will the cops know if he was running away by the time my finger stopped pulling the trigger

Those round have a greater chance of passing right through your target and hitting someone you don't want to hit. ARs are good at field range. They are not the right choice at home defense range unless you literally live in the middle of nowhere with no neighbors an have no major roads with heavy traffic nearby. A lot of people have ended up in jail firing an AR at a threat and having one of those round injure and kill a person minding their own business.

You don't use FMJ rounds for home defense though.
You use hollow point rounds.
And a shotgun has other draw backs then that of a AR.
I can fire wothout ear pro better my 5.56 then a Shotgun.
I can understand a shotgun for apartments but at the same time they can be horrible as well.
Rifles are often short then shotguns as well which adds into capability for civilians to maneuver in a house

You would be surprised the amount of people who recommend FMJ for Home Defense. And people that follow said advice and need a lawyer later. And you should not fire any firearm indoors without hearing protection. They make electronic ear plugs now that can be kept on your night stand. They take seconds to put in your ears.
