So it's OK to kill an attacker with a shot to the front, but not to wound him in the arse.
He lost his license to own/ use a shotgun because he used the shotgun to do something illegal.
So if he'd damaged the vehicle with a hammer, would he have been prevented from owning or using a hammer?
So it's OK to use a gun for self defence, as long as you don't actually kill anyone.
as long as it's "reasonable".
The effect of a shotgun on a human is pretty much a matter of chance.
The absurd UK counterexample was the case of a factory owner who was prosecuted because a burglar fell through his defective roof and was seriously injured.

Martial arts may help our heroes to win fights against their opponents.

Never assume your enemy doesn't feed and drill his soldiers!
Or resort to military intelligence. Study your enemy, then either surprise him with a weapon or tactic that isn't in the book, or negotiate.
