I find shotguns very useful for home defense and I suspect they will become even more useful as the use of small drones becomes ubiquitous.
With all the different shells, a shotgun is a very versatile platform, cheap to buy, simple to work and most common pumps not from Turkey are very reliable. Turkish shotguns can be hit or miss, but can be amazing if you're willing to do your own gunsmithing and modifications.
I agree, and I have one because I've used it a million times, but I still can't recommend it to newbies. I also appreciate the application of tungsten shot against drones. I think "non-lethal" drone shooting would be a really fun sport to replace clays or real birds.
Someone flying a drone around me is not life and death. I can't think of a scenario where shooting a drone is not escalating / more likely to get you killed
If you are at a point where you are shooting a gun in public and not at a range, shit is escalated to pretty much as high as it can it be on a personal level.
