    It’s not the shot, it’s the stock.

    First off the spread on a shotgun is not like a video game where your entire view is covered in lead. It’s still relatively grouped.

    Second, the trench gun had a stock. The stock is important. It allows you to properly and quickly aim at what you’re trying to shoot. The WW1 'Trench Gunn had a stock.

    If your goal is to take down home invaders, you want a stock on your shotgun.

    If you just want to put lead in your walls and furniture, go with a folding stock one.

    That being said, a gun is the least useful device you can acquire to help you during a home invasion. A firearm in your home is statistically more likely to cause accidental harm to you or your family than it is going to help you fight off hole invaders.

    You’d be better off investing in proper home security measures.
