I accept Ezearln and Lefty,s confidence in themselves and would be tickled pink to have either or both of you backing me in a firefight.But you dont always get quality fighters and so if I cant have quality I hope I have quantity with lots of ammo,hope they remember to shoot and cma while I cover theirs.A man never knows what he will do until it is over.As to light recoil,In my situation I know how capable I am and know I can take out more targets with an easy to control weapon of high capacity than a weapon that is a little more difficult to handle and less capacity.When it comes to shotguns if you can get it done with them use them or anything else that works, but for me,I choose a light recoil rifle you can fire 30 rds and change mags in 2 seconds and have 30 more rds.If accuracy is available I say great,it will count.But what I have seen,it was fairly good on the range but in a firefight usually just something you dream of. It is a matter of what you trained with and have experience with.In Nam the military had gone to 9mm pistols and 5.56mm rifles. sam.
