Depending on the situation and area, Things like trip wire alarm devices, LPOPs and security patrols (depending on the size of your group) can all help with perimeter security. To limit the usage of vehicles into your area you could use 1/4" vinyl coated cable across roads and driveways that is secured with the screw on wire clamps, you can use JB weld on the threads to prevent them from being unsecured. Barbwire can be very effective as tangle foot as I posted above as well as treble hooks hanging at face to torso level on 25lbs spider wire. Any drainage ditches at the end of your driveway or outside of her perimeter that are close to you need to be filled with sharped stakes or rebar, or covered over with well staked down barbed wire or some other way to keep them from being used as improvised fighting positions against you.
 
you could put a live shell in one however it would be fairly ineffective due to the shell not having a supporting chamber around it.
 
You can use 3/4" pipe, similar to a slam fire shotgun but you just have to remember that if you do that it becomes a short barreled shotgun if it's under 18" so just keep it as information until after SHTF.
 
Yep, pretty much. Prosecutors could probably get you for some type of explosive device if they wanted to play dirty I have gained a lot of knowledge Through The Years from the military and from military literature and other sources too bad most of it can't be used until WROL. I plan but I never assemble.
 
A little more practical during these less than SHTF days is a driveway alarm. Solar powered, so the batteries never go dead. My unit will handle four sensors, but mine came with just two, which will cover what I want covered. Different alarms for each unit, so you know immediately where you have a problem. It can go off hundreds of times without needing to be reset. I can leave my garage door open now (during the day) without worrying about someone just walking in and helping themselves to my tools. Unit was about $100 delivered.
 
False alarms from wild life make for good unscheduled testing. If you don't hear or spot the alarm, then you need to improve the system. After a few critters have tripped the alarms, they will stay away OR you will improve your system.
 
With the IR Tripwire, you scan at night to see if there is a trip, then check the trail cam on the next patrol of your AO.

Adjust if needed. You can also use the IR as second line after shotgun primer to train deer to stay away, or have a Great Pyrenees to keep them away in the beginning.
