The scenario I was speaking of was more of one where I wake up and hear someone downstairs breaking into my house.
I grab my shotgun and fill him full of birdshot from about 30 feet away.
If the guy is right on top of me, my shotgun isn't gonna do me any good...I would have to fight him off at that point.

Anywhere inside a hose the birdshot will be pretty fucking effective. That's all close range, it doesn't spread much in that amount of distance.
The other advantage of it, is it's not going to keep traveling after it hits the outer walls of your house. It will still go through thin inner walls but it will lose a lot of it's speed and penetrating power.
The reason that's good, is it means you are less likely to kill one of your family members in another room or kill a neighbor if you miss your intended target.
