Home Defender – Less Than Lethal?

I don’t know about you guys, but if someone breaks into my house when I’m home I want them DEAD, not tickled by a cute soft ball with tentacles on it.

From the packaging:

“This may be the most intelligent way to defend your family against home intruders.”

Intelligent how? It’s smart to let some scumbag that wants to steal your stuff and/or hurt or intimidate your family survive to do it again another day? Interesting.

I could see its use in Law enforcement for crowd control. But the home defense thing is just laughable in my opinion. The only clear advantage I can see is that you wouldn’t have any collateral damage with this (because there would be NO damage) if 100% of your shot didn’t hit the bad guy.

Classy version of the sawed off shotgun

Most of the pictures I had seen of short barreled shotguns were your typical Mossberg 500 or Remington 870’s… seen one you’ve seen them all.

But then I came across this:

It’s a sawed off Franchi – Renaissance Sporting 12 Gauge. This bad boy sports dual 3″ chambers in an over-under configuration, top notch walnut furniture with well placed cut checkering, a gold-embellished trigger, and lots of engraved scroll work. MSRP – $2249

Here it is in its pure form:

I would love to be able to afford $2249 on a Franchi Renaissance Sporting to do this. The unfortunate reality is that short barreled shotguns lack utility in everything but personal protection and home defense. Spending that much money, only to hack off 50% of the gun, is reserved for those with deep pockets and strong stomachs.

Alliance Armament Accelerator 12 Gauge Pistol

Looks like some serious firepower!

Alliance Armament‘s website is actually down now, but I was able to peek at in in google cache and it looks like the Accelerator is a conversion for the Saiga 12, and was selling for $2642.97 and the drum magazine was selling for $379. No telling if that is the current price as well, but hopefully the price will be lower when their site is fixed and goes live.
