The short 12 gauge stuff will certainly kill geese as will even smaller guns. I just like the versatility of the bigger bores and longer shells. Sometimes I'm waiting till everybody is done shooting before I get unlimbered and can kill a goose at 50 or 60 yards with them whereas I wouldn't even think about firing if I was shooting a light load. Right over the decoys you can kill geese with small guns and light shells but you've got to pick your shots and really be careful.
