6 Reasons Why a Shotgun is Better than an AR15

In this video, I break down the reasons why a shotgun is better than an AR-15, especially when it comes to home defense. Both firearms have their strengths, but the shotgun's power, versatility, and reliability make it an absolute beast for protecting your home. We’ll dive into real-world data, including research from Greg Ellifritz, to see how shotguns perform in critical situations, and why juries often favor shotguns over AR-15s in self-defense cases.


Topics covered:

  • Shotgun stopping power vs. AR-15
  • Shot spread and effectiveness of buckshot
  • Shotgun versatility with different ammo types
  • Legal advantages of using a shotgun for home defense
  • Reliability and simplicity of pump-action shotguns


Whether you're a fan of Mossberg, Remington, or just curious about which gun is better for home defense, this video has you covered. Stay tuned for my follow-up video: 6 Reasons the AR-15 is Better Than a Shotgun!

    Shotgun for those who live in restricted areas. For those who live in non-restricted states we have options.

    It is possible to short stroke a pump, If I had the cash I would have one of the new Beretta semi autos by the bed.
