This video compares the AR-15 rifle and 12-gauge shotgun for self-defense, testing their lethality and effectiveness. While both are potent, the AR-15's higher capacity, lower recoil, and ability to penetrate soft body armor make it the preferred choice for the host. Testing demonstrated that high velocity, as seen with the 5.56mm round, can cause significant hydrostatic shock, while 00 buckshot relies on mass and spread.
