This video explores the effectiveness of sporting shotguns with birdshot for home defense, challenging the common belief that only buckshot or slugs are adequate. Based on experience as a police officer and practical demonstrations, the content suggests that birdshot, particularly when fired from a full-choke sporting shotgun at close distances, can be surprisingly effective. The video compares the patterns of number 8 birdshot, double buckshot, and Federal's number 1 tactical buckshot from different shotgun configurations to illustrate penetration and spread characteristics.
