>The reason shotguns aren't that popular for home defense is that an AR has lower recoil, better handling, more capacity, and is semi-automatic by default. And they make big enough holes in people that "stopping power" is hardly an issue.

Well, that, and because .223 Remington doesn't like to over-penetrate too often.

Also, stopping power is a buzzword and a myth. It's not quantifiable in the sense that it's classically used.

I figure enough slugs or swarms of buckshot could eventually do some pretty considerable damage on a Cyberdemon after a while, as long as you circlestrafe well and dodge rockets like a pro.
