Great chart...

I live in an apartment and am paranoid about the thin walls. I use the new Mossberg 500 Breacher shotgun and have it loaded with #12 shot to almost completely reduce wall penetration. I have 00 buckshot as backup once I'm composed and am more aware of exacty where my shot is going in an emergency intense situation. I really have to be careful; I have people above me, and to the side.

I have neighbors on both sides of me and across the street. My shotgun is loaded with 00 Buck. If I could find 1 Buck or 0 Buck for cheap I might use that, but this is fine as well. I'm not willing to trade penetration and effectiveness for the ability to shoot without aiming and not fear the consequences. That's just me though. FWIW my shotgun is a backup to my AR-15 for HD. Just my two cents...

Yep shouldnt have to worry about penetrating anything

Including the BG's clothes. You will probably give him a nasty bruise though.


Zach and Holly, buy a couple of watermelons go to the range and shoot one a 15yds with the #12 shot, then shoot the other one with #4 shot or buckshot or any shot size bigger than #6.

After do this you will understand why nearly everyone on this forum advises you to get rid of the #12 shot.
