Answer. I think if we're like 20-40ft away a guy tries to threaten me with a pistol, though shotguns are bigger, they are not super(Depending on what kind compared to other guns.) powerful, I think a pistol would win, I mean really. Now if it's like Dirty Harry, you got that Harpoon, though that will kill, hurt, and be hard to dodge, I would SOS, shoot on sight of him holding that thing threatening me. I think bigger guns are more for show in a movie. Opinions anyone?
bigger the badder is not true.One of the most powerful guns in history maybe even the most powerful is the cricket. It's about as big as an index finger but that could destroyyou. i mean like one shot and you cannot find remains.
