If you told The Duck to grab the Shockwave, he'd return with his vibrator.
LOL.
I must say though, I don't agree with this, unless you're not referring to guns or ranges measured in feet. I carried a Benelli M1 on my first tour, and did so for a reason. A fair amount of our contact was in bayonet range. Whether a shotgun is better than an AR for self defense I think has a lot to do with what you're comfortable with, as well as your specific circumstances, but from an utter destruction standpoint from a single shot (or even a magazine) and normal loads there's no comparison. Besides, I've talked to plenty of vets that do not know dick about guns, but think they do because they have experience with a M16. I'd be curious to know more about the specifics of how those vets you talked to came to their conclusions.

I've met a couple war veterans that would not agree.
