Ah yes, the ever versatile shotgun! An answer to every problem. But with conventional rounds, a shotgun is not too effective against body armor.

My brother and I used to talk about how a guy with a shotgun and some modified shells could kill more than half of the Justice League (kryptonite shell-Superman, yellow slug- Geen Lantern, buckshot - Wonderwoman (block THAT with your bracers!)).

Ok, break out the pocket protectors I AM a geek!

If you hit the head a shotgun is effective! “your” helmet will not protect you! But then again i have my steyr aug at home. A .223 full metal jacket will penetrate every police armor.
Not that it would help me this much (because i still would get killed if swat storms my house) but at least i would die knowing that i took one of this “nazis” with me.

I agree, and my first choice would be something in .308 or better for this kind of threat. However if all you have is the 12 ga, then you do have a few options beyond conventional rounds. That's all I was trying to point out.
