Best Shotgun for Home Defense?

I bought one for a friend as a "joke" gift. Mounting it does one of three things: pisses off the "serious" mall ninjas, gets respect from the clowns, and makes real shooters laugh their @sses off.

Since the first and third are the real "tactical" uses of the pistol bayonet, I can say it works perfectly :) I'm thinking of getting one now too. :rofl

That reminds me...my friend got a 1911 with a rail, and he bought a god damn bayonet for it. It's like 3 inches long. Why would you mount a pocket knife to a pistol :p

I'm testing this after my neighbor leaves for work. I have milk jugs full of water.
Test subjects will be 45 acp 230 gr Federal HST vs 5.56 55 gr Federal XM193.
Depending on test results, I will try again with 5.56 62 grain m855.

$5 says the 45 acp makes it through more jugs than the XM193. You using a 16 or 20 inch barrel? Out of a 20 XM193 practically explodes.

Chesty Puller would approve.

In late 1943, the 1st Marine Division received some M1-1 flamethrowers just prior to the New Britain campaign. The legendary Marine, Lt. Col. Lewis "Chesty" Puller, observed a demonstration of the new flamethrower. Afterward, he asked, "Where do you put the bayonet on the damned thing?"

I'd hate to get into a melee with a tank of napalm on my back.

LOL, my bad. The Airborne spends all their time jumping out of perfectly good airplanes to go get in the shit far behind enemy lines.

In other words they have too much sense to be Marines.

Not that this has anything to do with anything, but a fun little story about paratroopers (scene from A Bridge Too Far, where the British paras were surrounded by German SS troops in Arnhem):

[an SS officer is approaching under a white flag]
Major Harry Carlyle: Rather interesting development, sir.
[to the German]
Major Harry Carlyle: That's far enough! We can hear you from there!
SS Panzer Officer: My general says there is no point in continuing this fighting! He wishes to discuss terms of a surrender!
Major Harry Carlyle: Shall I answer him, sir?
Lt. Col. John Frost: Tell him to go to hell.
Major Harry Carlyle: We haven't the proper facilities to take you all prisoner! Sorry!
SS Panzer Officer: [confused] What?
Major Harry Carlyle: We'd like to, but we can't accept your surrender! Was there anything else?
[German officer walks off]

Biggest problem with me having a HD weapon...my roommate at the end of the hall who is also armed. I'm gonna just stay out of his line of fire, thanks.

I never read about it and I don't buy it that the media keeps it quiet. This area is so anti gun, they jump on every situation involving one.

I said "we" not "the media". We don't report shootings, just like we don't report earthquakes. :|
