Bank security guards typically carry shotguns instead of rifles for several reasons:
- Shotguns are more maneuverable: Shotguns are shorter in length than rifles, making them easier to maneuver in tight spaces such as hallways and small rooms. This can be particularly important in a bank setting where there may be limited space and obstacles to navigate around.
- Shotguns have less penetration: Shotguns typically fire pellets or slugs that spread out upon leaving the barrel. This means that they are less likely to penetrate walls or other objects and cause collateral damage. Rifles, on the other hand, fire bullets that are designed to penetrate and can cause significant damage if they miss their intended target.
- Shotguns have a greater stopping power: Shotguns are known for their stopping power, which refers to their ability to incapacitate an attacker. The spread of the pellets or slugs can cover a wider area and increase the likelihood of hitting the target, which can be especially important in high-stress situations.
- Shotguns are versatile: Shotguns can be loaded with a variety of ammunition types, including less-lethal options such as rubber bullets or beanbag rounds. This gives security guards more options to handle different situations without having to switch to a different weapon.
