3 wounds of 5.56 NATO with an ME of 1300x3 [3900] foot pounds is not going to yield a superior wound profile to 9 pieces of .33 caliber - 00 Buck carrying a gross of 1800 foot pounds (200fpe each) of energy. (The 00 meanwhile will be inferior to the higher velocity, greater quantity of #1 Buckshot.) Utilizing simple energy figures is woefully oversimplifying a very complicated subject. In any case the sheer number of wounds a shotgun inflicts will yield the superior lethality so long as the range is close enough that the shot retains the necessary energy to reach vital organs. It is just as unlikely that three .223 caliber rounds will inflict more trauma than a single .74 caliber round if any of them find vital anatomy during their flight.
