My understanding is that the idea of "tumbling" is misunderstood. If the bullet is traveling at above 2700 fps, when it enters the human body it will try to flip over to heave end first. When it begins to turn over, the stresses on the jacked are too much, and it breaks apart inside the body.
Ironically, it's at longer ranges when the velocity is less, that the bullet tends to punch neat holes.
My BENELLI M1 SUPER 90 has a 18.5 inch barrel & my BERETTA 1201 FP has a 20 inch barrel, both will work just fine in the house, with more stopping power than a handgunNo, thanks. Shotgun, unless is it illegally short or a dogleg, is just too long to maneuver in a narrow hallway and the spread really is not great enough to significantly affect accuracy at close quarters. I prefer a handgun, or three.

The M4-like carbine has 30 .223 rounds of ammo ....
Using the 2 3/4" shell, the 00B delivers 9 .36 caliber projectiles with one pull of the trigger.
It has been demonstrated many times that the .223/5.56 is bbasically a 22LR and that shot placement is absolutely critical. You better plan to shoot several times.
You need a 30 round magazine to equate 4 shotgun shells.
And I shoot both the shotgun and AR regularly. While you can state that you prefer the M4, you cannot state that it is 'better' at HD ranges.
With regards to over penetration, you better be shooting frangible because any FMJ will not break up in drywall or plywood.
