They have good stopping power. Slugs have more power than a 5.56mm round along with the average engagement for U.S. personel nowadays is 75 yards or less. Slugs have an effective range up to 125 yards and occasionally more. Even buckshot would have effective firepower for putting down lead down range. The Usas 12 Full Auto Shotgun has a 50 round drum that may fire birdshot,buckshot,slugs, and even 40mm rounds with effective range up to 200 yards! Why wouldnt the U.S. use shotguns for combat as opposed to door breaching?
