[QUOTE="jfloyd, post: 1856095, member: 73643"] I would recommend a 9mm AR for the home. Just the blast alone from a 5.56mm in an enclosure especially with one of those “buddy f’er” style muzzle breaks will disorient everyone in that enclosure including the good guys. Don’t believe me, try shooting under just the cover of a tree or better yet, hard overhead cover WITH ear protection and see what you think. Now do that without ear protection and in a FULLY enclosed area in probably low light conditions with huge muzzle blast and you will quickly see why. A 115-124 grain 9mm out of a 16” barrel is pushing 357 Mag performance and 147 grainer is usually subsonic if that’s your cup of tea. Shorter barrels are more handy for sure are a great option and still keep blast down. If you must go 5.56, use the proper bullet for expansion and penetration performance. There are many great options out there that. [/QUOTE]
