Need to train for that tho, hand loading into the breach in double quick time.
In terms of CQC with a long gun? If they close up to that range; cave their skull in with the butt stroke.
You don't actually need a bayonet, stab them in the throat with the breacher muzzle, forehand smash, backhand smash, stomp them into a paste.
I figure a short-spear makes a decent home defense non-firearm weapon. Got a stabby part. Got a bashing part. Good reach.
What’s your preferred medieval home defense weapon?
I'd probably go for dual use, shotgun/club, I've got the size, the strength, the speed, and the muscle memory for bayonet fighting, and the bayonet is not actually necessary, more likely a bayonet would get stuck, so like a say, just use the breacher muzzle, goes through car windows, goes through wind pipes too.
