Not really, most use rifles. It is a common misconception that pistols and shotguns pose less risk of collateral damage. Basically anything powerful enough to stop somebody is powerful enough to penetrate walls etc. Shotguns don't do great against body armor etc either. Another thing to consider with buck shot is the spread pattern. Each one of them pellets can be a law suit.
