Technically, the efficiency of the tool depends on it's intended use.

A sawed off shotgun probably won't kill anyone in a drive by but it'll still do a lot of damage.

In war, injuries are often more burdensome to the enemy than fatalities. Though they call it gang-warfare, I doubt they have gang-medics, and I bet that the public hospitals recieve much of the burden of the injured.

So... Technically, a sawed off shotgun could do more damage in a drive by than a 7.62mm SAW, under conditions of warfare.

For urban violence under a functioning state though, John Henry has got a point. A sawed-off shotgun probably won't kill anybody in a driveby.
