I carry the Carl Gustaf because you don't have to aim it
One of these days, I hope to have Claymores!
No aiming needed!

How you aim depends on the gun, distance and situation. It is learned from experience, i.e. range time and learning your ability and tactics.Do you need to put the stock against your cheek to point a gun at something?
Or is aiming when you look down the top of a barrel and line up sights?
A finger is pointed. A gun is aimed.
Several reasons I have mentioned birdshot as being used in home defense, comes from that the bast majority of the time, our shotguns are loaded with birdshot, most of the time. Reasons? Because it's much more likely that they would be used against four legged or slithering predators than the two legged variety.
IF we have to engage a bad guy, or intruder, I doubt that they are going to allow me the time or opportunity to switch from birdshot, to buckshot.
I have always said that for home defensive situations buckshot if preferred and optimum, but at very close ranges, birdshot can kill as well.
Adapt and improvise.
SATX, thanks for the good story. I’ve always figured that a face, chest or gut full of birdshot would make for a really bad day. If I was a bad guy, I think it would negatively affect my desire and/or ability to continue an attack.
I imagine the blood loss might make rape more difficult....
You don't need to spend a lot of money in normal times to have a dedicated 12g shotgun, a short barrel 18.5" Maverick 88 does the job. There always seems to be some confusion on shot size so perhaps the chart below helps. In my house #4 buck is my choice. In a normal load there are 27 pellets. I doubt if I would need to render first aid to someone stopped with that load. Finding it nowadays is tough though so birdshot if you must. View attachment 228606
Supposed law enforcement is pro “point and shoot.” No aiming required, just reflex blasting away at “bad guys? Interesting.
Thanks for posting your view points. It informs me and other readers about where you stand when it comes to your job.
You do understand your admissions make it difficult for people to back the police regardless of justification.
Now stop embarrassing yourself in an effort to win a non existent argument.

This thread is even boring Liam Neeson!
Stop an intruder? I don't know. 12 g for sure, probably 20 okay..410 anyone?
