A
lot more energy and penetration than you would need to stop a human attacker.
If used in a home situation, be aware that the slug could likely go right through the intruder, right through the walls of your house, and through the walls of you neighbor's house (if you have neighboring houses close by).
Back to the issue of shotgun vs. handgun for home defense: While any firearm fired indoors is going to be "senses numbing" to the shooter, the percussion and muzzle flash from a shotgun is going to be a lot more disruptive to you, the home defender, than the effects from a handgun.
Just another issue to consider when choosing a "home defense" firearm.
