Gas operated shotgun is just a semi auto. Uses blow back from trapped gases to cycle in the next round. Yeah man AR platform are rifles. Most .30-30s you'll find will be lever action.
See I've been told by several different people to go both ways so I'm having trouble picking one or the other. Shotgun or Rifle
Either is fine really. I'd say go 12 gauge shotgun just b/c it's the first gun I'd grab If I woke up to someone breaking into the house. Pistol grip w/ a folding stock, loaded w/ buckshot.
My FIL said the same thing, 12ga for home defense and it works for hunting. However I like the idea of a rifle just because it gives me more range.
