Have you seen what a 110 grain Barnes black tip round will do to what it hits?? Hell, even some 147 grain boatail rounds will do some nasty damage. Of course, I'm talking 300 Blackout here.
I am definitely making an AR pistol very very soon.
Rifle rounds in general do a lot more damage than pistol rounds.
I'm always up for some antics...

Of course, you should always have more than one firearm within easy reach distance. I'm getting into the habit of having my 1911 on me when home. Once I get my P&R, I'll be taking it with me to more places.
A smaller, faster projectile will do more damage than a larger slower one? I would think it was the other way around. Any ballistics tests? I'm Googling now, but at work doing stuff...

Shotgun. BOOM

The MA State Police have kindly provided answers on why a rifle is better than a pistol.

Why is it a 'patrol rifle' when they have it but an 'assault rifle' when we have it?

Here is the equation for kinetic energy that drives this part of the debate.
Ke = 1/2mv^2.
Coming from a bunch of guys that can only hit their targets 18% of the time?
No thanks.
Minimum score of 90% for all live fire scored drills & qualification while maintaining
100% round accountability.

Except when the object leaves at nearly the same speed it entered. That's why people use hollow points; to expand and dump as much energy into the target as possible, if not all of it.
Imagine an example where a bullet leaves a person at exactly the same speed it was traveling when it entered. It has exactly the same mass and exactly the same velocity, therefore exactly the same energy. That means it transferred zero energy to the medium it passed through (i.e. the bad guy).
To realistically think you'll be able "to fight" your way to a rifle during a home self-defensive situation is laughable.
Furthermore, to think you'll have the where with all to actually sight it (a long gun) on your target in that situation is equally laughable.
My advice?
Get better with your pistol accuracy, AND have a shotgun nearby when the house goes dark.

That's actually a pretty interesting pdf to flip through. It seems to have been written by somebody who knows what they're talking about.
I agree with you on your first point, but with an Aimpoint on a rifle, "sighting in" a long gun that is fitted for you, (and assuming you know how to use it) is actually quite fast.
If you want to laugh at me for having a rifle next to my bed instead of a shotgun, go for it. I am far more comfortable grabbing a rifle then I am anything else. I certainly would not laugh at you for choosing a shotgun, even if I thought you were wrong.
