      I suggest that you stand closer to the barn.   Shotguns don't
 do much beyond 50 yards.

A hundred yards for larger buck shot and a cylinder choke is pretty 
realistic. That's why they put rifle sights on a combat shotgun. In WWI
a 
long barreled Remington shotgun waith a bayonet lug was issued to
specialist 
troops called a "trench gun". Ugly close in weapon!. Today we have the
CAW a 
full auto twelve gauge with a 20 round magazine. That's clear a large
room 
with little effort. For close in urban assaulots I'll take the shotgun
over a 
machine pistol any day.
