Let alone firing it a small light gun,

I would argue yes there is.. the biggest advantage is the nasty 4 letter word... Lead

Youd be supprised what great patterns you can get from a 3/4oz or 1oz long column of #5 shot through a full choke at long ranges.
Recoil is a non event. No different to a 12ga trap load or 1oz 20g
