Yes, you are taught how to clear corners. The problem is, in a home with tight hallways that's hard to prevent while staying keeping an alert stance, without having another person to cover you. But hell, if you got a husband and wife team sweeping that would be bad ass.

And you're correct, birdshot will most likely go into the next room. But it won't go through multiple rooms and possibly into a close neighbor.

Agreed that's pistols take much more skill, but I stand by them as the best home defense weapon if you're able to train. A revolver specifically.

Anddddd you sold me on the claymore.

No that shit is going through multiple walls. Handguns will go probably through more.

If you want something not going through the walls, scream and yell....

Even better video, walls are doubled up and has distance. You're shit is going through all kinds of walls.

A 9 mil will go though more walls than a slug? I disagree with that.

Watch the damn videos....no where did I say a 9mm will go through more walls than a slug... I stated that birdshot at 10 feet is basically a slug. It has not even left it's sabot at that distance.
