Well the point you were making was that a semi auto rifle would do a lot more damage than a shotgun and that just isn't true.
As for penetrating walls that all depends on the walls construction. I wouldn't bet on a shotgun blast not busting through a sheetrock wall and there are special non penetrating rounds for just about any caliber rifle nowadays.
Personally I favor the shotgun for home defense though because nothing says "git" to an intruder quite like a pump racking a round in the chamber.
