Not trying to be rude, but; Shotguns are just as hard to aim as any other gun at close range. buck doesn't spread much within 5-10 feet.
Slugs won't penetrate any armor that you'll actually encounter. Level 3 soft armor will stop slugs reliably.
No rudeness detected friend. Penetration's not the be all end all at close range. Anyone who's armor "stops" a slug to the chest from like 20 feet is going to be too busy convulsing on the floor and coughing up blood to continue menacing you
