Someone breaks into my house, am I going to grab my ar-15 or my fnp-45?
Both are good, but I'll take the rifle over a handgun any day.
"The point of your side arm is to fight to your battle rifle."
AR-15 for home defense? lol actually some good 75 grain+ MK.262 / OTMs like Hornady or SSA is pretty good out of an AR pistol or Short AR for home defense. you're not using low grain FMJs and long barrels.
AR-15:it works on squirrels, rabbits, small miscellaneous mammals, pigs, small to medium sized deer, humans, small elk.
any proper defensive load will Overpenetrate though your target. it's simply projectile physics. however good "HD" loads can minimize or reduce OP.
It could also go through walls and injure someone.anything could do it. arrows could do it. blackpowder launched projectiles, pistol rounds shotgun projectiles rifles rounds your fists(drywall is brittle and easy to break, just gotta punch between the 2x4s).
fact of the matter is, a minimum of 12" of bullet penetration is recommended for all "HD" loads.
it's a risk associated with defense.
which is also why HD is not cutting the pie and other search and destroy vidya BS.
it's gather possible family in designated safe room, load guns, call cops and bunker down till cops arrive. if bad guys try to invade said room, let 'em have it. this is assuming you have castle law in your state.
all shotgun loads will OP. slugs definitely go through the house. buckshot? always OPs several rooms.
birdshot? not so bad but still would hit what's in the next room over.
