I'm pretty sure I'm much more capable of harming an intruder with a 9mm pistol than I am with a shield.
Speaking of semantic, FTFY
Spoken like someone who's never been hit with a shield.
Intruder breaks into front door of home. I point pistol at him. He runs away (or stays until the cops arrive, kinda his choice). Odds of anyone being physically injured? Very small.
Intruder breaks into front door of home. I stand before him with my trusty shield strapped to my arm. Intruder goes "WTF?", laughs and attempts to push me out of the way to get to my stuff. I then clock him in the teeth with the edge of the shield (or he overpowers me). Odds of anyone being physically injured? Very high.
