| Depends on the density of the neighborhood. If houses are close together stick to a shotgun with birdshot. If you shoot one and he runs off to die it just saves you handling the carcass. If things are more open then a rifle might be better. Remember that a rifle bullet can ricochet and travel a long ways. I was on a Narcotics Raid Team for 5 years. I was the Shotgun guy. After a lot of testing, I began using #6 birdshot. At across the room ranges it was potent but it didn't carry through neighborhoods and didn't penetrate house exterior walls. |
