But if you want to do maximum damage a shotgun is by far the best weapon. A 12-gauge shotgun with a magazine extension can hold up to eight shells. An average 3" round can hold 11 single-0 pellets. 8 X 11 means that you can throw 88 30-caliber balls of lead or copper downrange in probably 4 seconds or less.

Trouble is, a 12-gauge shotgun doesn't LOOK anywhere near as intimidating as an AR-15.

Well, I suppose it could become that, if media decides to sensationalize 12-gauge shotguns the way they have AR-15s.
You can also obtain an 8 shot speed reloading tube and refill that shotgun in seconds.
