What's the same with a moving target?
At the end of the day, what you use is far less important than how well you employ it. I'll beat a motherf**ker to death with my bare hands if I have to, but that wouldn't be my first choice.
This is exactly it - I've seen too many instances of people (even here) advising somebody who goes duck hunting and can run a 12ga like none other that 'an AR is better', which for that guy it's not. I suck at running shotguns, therefore I supplement pistols with short ARs.
There are a LOT of form factor effects that can really adjust usability, and that's a bit part of how I weight ability to run a weapon system; even with my pistol gripped youth stock on my 870 the limitation on running it in tight quarters is mostly me (but the 38"+ OAL doesn't help a ton).
A center of mass hit with a 12ga on anything without armor is better, but in the time I can personally make a hit with a 12ga platform I'm done with a pair and onto a failure drill with the AR platform I have far more familiarity with.
