I guess on a per shot basis, it'd probably beat throwing rocks.
But rocks have both a higher rate of fire, AND far lower cost.
If you're serious about protecting yourself, your loved ones and your home; figure out a way to scrape up the money for a weapon that'll give you a better chance to survive if a home invasion leads to a gunfight.
It doesn't really matter what Clint Smith can do on a shooting range when nobody's shooting back. What matters is what YOU can do when it's 3:00 AM and you're half asleep, scared spitless and confused. I'm not saying everyone needs the latest offering from Noveske or Daniel Defense, but decent pump shotguns can be found for less than $150.
Read "The Grapes of Wrath", those folks were way poorer than any American is today, but even when the Joad family was literally starving, they still hung onto their lever action rifle.
