I just wanted to add about what I said above..
I can also say something about bullet penetration from experience. When I was a kid we heard a dog whaling in the woods behind our house and my parents and neighbor thought a gator might of gotten a hold of it. My step father and neighbor decided to go check it out, but the neighbor wanted to get his gun.
He was apparently in a hustle to get his rifle and while getting it managed to have the gun go off. The bullet from his gun went though his window into our kitchen window and lodged it's self in our wall. This wasn't even an assault rifle just a hunting rifle and it being shot inside his house managed to enter ours next door.
Just for this reason alone I will always look at anyone whom claims they need anything more than a shotgun or pistol for home defense as a irresponsible gun owner. Even a pistol is problematic, in the area of bullet penetration.
