Thinking About a 410 AR for home defense

Close range 12ga birdshot. Guy was walkin’ and talkin’, and not immediately incapacitated.

You'd be better off with a 12 gauge pump with shells loaded in a less lethal/penetrative to more lethal penetrative gradient, the more critical the situation the more shells you can cycle out to get to the good stuff. I'd trust my life to a .22lr pistol before a .410 shotgun, probably the second most worthless round after .25acp.
Yes. Cause the more you really need your firearm to perform, the more time you want to spend ****ing with it. Wtf
 
I have a 223 AR15 and there is no way I'd turn that puppy loose in the house. That's a neighbor killer for sure I'm afraid. I really like my neighbors too much to endanger them.

If all else fails I may just go to bear spray and a baseball bat.

223 seems to be about the best when it comes to not over-penetrating walls and such. There's several good videos of it on YT done by the Guntalk Radio folks, and Box Of Truth did testing that showed it more than a decade ago.

GunTalk is here. AR-15 at around 6 minutes

It's a .22 bruh,house pop that bitch.
 
.223/5.56 is most definitely not the penetrator that folks think it to be.

There’s a reason I “carry” Hornady TAP 70grn GMX Barrier Penetrator in my go-to AR’s.
