That was my first thought as well, but it's not an issue. The shot doesn't begin to spread out until after about ten yards.
This kind of dispels the myth about using a shotgun for home defense because it's easier to hit the target. If you live in a typical house or apartment, it just won't be a factor. The true advantage to using a shotgun is the size of the round and the power behind it. Hit somebody at close range with a 12 gauge slug and they're done. Doesn't matter if they're wearing body armor or not.
