i don't think so

i think shotgun pistol is the way to go

Except they're not better in general.

are we talking about guns again?

okay, well, pick a scenario for me

home invasion?

fantastic

muggery?

if she could have fired bursts, her mother is dead now

Even with a SAW on tripod IIRC.

she doesn't know how to even hold the gun steady

thats just bad practice

any type of burst would go anywhere as she moves the gun everwhere

Because cyclic is only useful for covering fire (area denial).

definitely need more practice with a burst or w/e

@Laucivol or dumping into a target if they're really close

would a semiautomatic still do it?

yeah, but full auto would do it faster

Yes.

nah, she just needs a bigger caliber

Semi is fast enough.

Yeah, but dumping is generally a bad idea - as said the rounds go wild.

"if they're really close"

Semi good enough to clean out a mosque...

And knowing what lies beyond your target is good, too.

trouble is she'd probably get knocked over the way she handles it

if big tyrone is within 5 yards

really fucking hard to miss

Better to make the shots count.

If big tyrone is 5yards you might be fucked if you have a gun

Even if*

hey, whats the standard self-defense range?

she probably tried a couple different guns at the range and chose that one cause it was the only one she could shoot straight with

not that high

21ft

so........

7 yards?

Yes

so.........

across the living room?

Theres short draw
