I’m no expert but as I understand it, a longer barrel adds more velocity/pressure to a firearm. Cutting a barrel that short would probably put the velocity in the range of ‘kind of sucks’.
It decreases the need for accuracy when used with shot. In a longer barrel, the shot will expand in a relatively small cone. Coming out of a short barrel, everything in the general vicinity in front of you will get little damaging pieces embedded all over their body.
Without much velocity/pressure from the barrel, the pellets are only getting propelled from the primer alone. This short would throw the pellets in a wide area but it would likely be Nerf gun ranges.
This is true, but as most self defense people will tell you, it only takes a small hole in another person to stop them worrying about much more than “oh damn that dude just shot me”.

Absolutely. They are stickup weapons, you pull them on someone on the other side of a register. The dude behind the counter will still shit himself.

You’re spot on. Also, the spread would be stupid. You’d be lucky to land a single pellet on me at 15’.
