REM 3200,
I respectfully and partially disagree with you.
I agree that bird shot may not be enough to totally stop the the threat and the threat can still harm you.
I don't agree with just blindly telling someone to use buckshot without telling the person "you better be darn sure you know what's behind the target if you MISS or after penetration "
So what happen if someone use buckshot or 00 and the next wall a kid is there? What if a window is there? This is why I (a simple newbie gun guy trying to learn) need to know what ammo stands the least chance of penetration multiple walls and still harm or kill the threat.
This why homeowner needs to know what ammo will less likely to penetrate multiple walls and have a position to be in so if missed the ammo doesn't go through soo many walls or out the exterior of home.
That's why I say birdshot will have to be used until the above is confirmed. Still searchin onlone for #4 buckshot
