[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 2208686, member: 27991"] "[COLOR="#FF0000"]Sure a shotgun is much more powerful but it's also a long gun which is a liability inside a structure due to the ease in which you can be disarmed or disabled moving through doorways and around corners even using the best methods known.
