Someones been reading a brooks book!
That thing will get you killed.
To choose a firearm one must look at their surroundings. Do you live on a farm with hundreds of acres of nothing in all directions? Rifle is fine for that. I live in a very narrow valley so max range is about 100 yards. A rifle would do me little or no good.
A shot gun however (assuming loaded with the right ammo like 9 ball buckshot) Is the way to go for me or someone in a tight packed urban city environment. And in all actuality the cone of even bird shot isn't all that big. At 30-40 yards its about 2 ft diameter a head is about 1 ft so do the math.

Given all my choices I'd take my M4 and a shotgun and a 1911 pistol. All easy to work on all very reliable all easy to get ammo for. The M4 in the right hands is good out to 300+ yards more than I need and I can make a suppressor for it very easily. I'll take my military issue machete with saw back simply because I don't have a "real" katana and a cheap one will screw you.
