[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1832395, member: 711"] This idea can get you killed. Shotgun pattern sizes at social distances are much smaller than generally believed. Aiming, or at least precise pointing, is not optional. A few years ago a nutcase firebombed a neighbor's house in, i think, Yukon. I met the victim at H&H while he was shopping for some home protection. He said he had fired his one shotshell at the guy, who was standing in the front yard, and missed. He assumed a wide pattern, when at the distance he fired, the actual pattern was probably about three inches. If you doubt this, hang some targets at five, ten, and fifteen feet, shoot 'em with any shotty, and prepare to be surprised at how close together all the shot still are at those distances.
