They are designed to not penetrate as it causes excess damage. Shotguns aren't designed for man hunts.

Rimfire isn't made for automatics. The damage done to the shell makes them reasonably regularly catch in the removal mechanism. In the UK you can only have automatics in rimfire and it's a significant complaint here.

Double wrong.

Birdshot has poor penetration qualities, because it's designed for birds, and small game. Buckshot or Slug, what you would be using for home defense will both provide more than sufficient penetration.

22lr runs just fine in a quality semi auto. While rimfire is less reliable than centerfire, that has more to do with the primer ignition, than the ejection of spent casings. How many rounds of rimfire ammo have you ran through a semi auto?
