Buying my first shotgun, ammo suggestions would be good.

>Should I use birdshot for home defense?

Anyone have that gif of the woman getting shot in the chest from across a room and not even noticing because it was birdshot?

Right, current fear is over penetration, so I can only assume 00 buck is my best bet, even though the above guide said to use #4.

#4 buck is the minimum you would want to use for deadly force. You can look in to the stubby (2" I think) shells for a weaker round, or look for a lower powder load as that would lower the risk of over penetration and scattergatting your family/neighbors.

Alright, thank you!

I also have the Maverick. I just use plain 00 Buck but #4 Buck would be good to use for home defense in my opinion.

>Short shells
>Feeding

Use 2 3/4 shells, they're what every shotgun was made around. If you're that worried about over-penetration use low recoil #4 buck. It's still basically like instantly mag dumping a 10/22 into them with every shot, and you won't have any feeding problems.

WHERE

Go find a pawn shop and try to get something used. Also I would say don't go any smaller than BB, but I would recommend #4 or larger buckshot

>>32700257
That's a good point about the feedingl issues. OP just get low recoil #4 Buckshot.

California. ;_;

None of the pawn shops near me sell guns.

NPAP-DF was better anyway. At least it was made by Zastava.

All will kill someone from any reasonable distance in your house.

7.5 is a little light for ducks even. It's for pheasant and clay pigeon.

Wait for the new non nfa SBS Mossberg 590. My dick is diamonds for that shit

>SBS
>non-NFA
I know what you're talking about and everything but when you phrase it this way you sound ignorant as fuck.

It's NFA because it's a "firearm," not a shotgun. SBS is inherently an NFA classification.

Not trying to sperg out and REE you but words mean things, particularly in the context of a law as stupidly specific as the NFA.

Ya failed

Understanding the difference between a "firearm," a "shotgun" and a "short-barreled shotgun" is literally the difference between having a fun scattergat with >18" barrel and the ATF shooting your dog and dilating your asshole, anon.
