depends on the load; Use low-base #4 birdshot, enough knock-down power to stop someone, at least at a close range like indoors, but it wont go through a body. assuming you hit your target you would not damage any of your stuff or more importantly it would not go through a wall & hit someone unintended.
Air marshalls have a load in thier pistols; it is a hollow point with snake shot filled in the hollow point area. I am not exactly certain of the physics but they do not exit a body either.

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...
