The AK and AR would put them down but any missed shot can hit your neighbors, you're probably most accurate with a pistol but eh. I think the shotty is the perfect one for the job. Unless you live in a big house with long hallways.
Coli gun heads, if someone breaks through the front door do you grab the pistol, shotgun, or rifle

Shotgun is the most ideal for home protection. Pistols and rifles by nature are not for close quarters if collateral damage is a concern. Hollows help with that a small degree.

You got anxiety issues breh
18 in shotgun is perfect home defense with the right shell that will kill another human but not fly through walls and hit someone sleeping in another room or hiding in a closet.

nope, just dont wanna be caught out w/o the strap... its upstairs, and I go down to the kitchen, and cats wanna kick in the door, what i'm a do?
Pistol, headshot
Pistols are the least accurate. Rifles and shotguns benefit from longer barrels which make them easier to "point". Shotguns also have a bigger spread, while rifles can take more advanced optics such as reflex sights. I will admit that I've had to break out my shotgun on a couple occasions, and in a small house they are a bit of a PITA to navigate with.
what type of shotgun do you have? If you have a hunting shotgun for turkeys and waterfowl with a 28 inch barrel, then yeah your going to have some trouble going down the hallway.
I got an 18, but my house is super small @920sq ft
Aight. An 18' in a small house should be easy to navigate with, my only concern would be what youd shoot out of it because chances are one wall is directly into an bedroom or place where someone (family might be). Traveling with within your house would be easy easy too. You carry the gun muzzle facing downward and bring up to shoot. My only concern is how big are the rooms cause if someone made there way into your house and entered your bedroom, with your square footage its quite possible they will be on the receiving end of a very close up shot, which can be bad for you as the shooter
Shotgun if i have time, if not one of the pistols.
