I wish, someone would invent a golf ball shooter,.. that wouldn't be likely to kill, but would hit like bat...
Maybe a 12 shot, pump action, with a wicked click-click when you cycle it...

You can get non lethal 12 gauge rounds.
My personal home defense shot gun is a Mossberg Persuader. Completely unrealistic for anything because it's a 7+1 capacity with a pistol grip. It gets HEAVY for any type of carry unless you're swinging it around a hallway.
It's loaded with a combination of rubber slugs, rubber buck shot, shredded rubber pellets and finishes with 3" 00 buck just in case.
Just because someone breaks into my house doesn't mean I should have to do drywall.
You can also get incendiary ammo, pepper spray ammo (although I've heard you shouldn't fire that in an enclosed hallway), bean bags...flares? I recently got something called Shell Crackers. It's like an M80 in a shot gun shell. They use them for scaring birds off the end of runways. A gentle pop shoots it out and then it explodes like a firecracker.
If there's something I agree with I usually bottle it up and carry it in the vault. I dwell, ponder, do my own research when I can and get back to it.
I've done it for Sri a few times now. Some of the things he says actually make sense.
