These professionals have shown that #4 buck is the minimum load that will reliably penetrate deep enough to hit vitals and stop a threat.
I do like your "tekteecool" shotgun though. The bayonet really speaks to me!

Birdshot s gor birds. I have tested it #6 on a sdevof ribs at d1ft. None penetrated the ribcage. Then #4 buck, broke ribs & penetrated thru to the gel backing.
Most riot chokes spread about 1" per yard. So at 21ft, the 6-7" spread of birdshot isnt going to give penetration to vitals, especially if your attacker is wearing heavy clothing.
