My partner was killed by a single load of #7 shot from a 20 ga at 26 ft.....at close ranges,"stopping power" isnt an issue for any sort of shotgun
load....he went down like a rock...never twitched....and he was an armed man in a kneeling shooting position taking aim at the shooter who had just
shot another officer....if he was able to return fire,he would have......if some one chooses a shotgun,they have full range to select the guage/load
based on home factors/bystanders/family members without worrying of it will "stop" someone..I prefer one of the buckshot loads,OOO,OO,O etc...the
FBI swears by,and has always used,#4 buck for whats that worth...
