Re: Rethinking home defense options
Let me say this, in todays environment I think the chances of law enforcement breaking my door down are about the same as anyone else breaking my door down. It's a very very low chance but worth planning for. Not worried about my hearing, I'll probably die in the exchange anyway, but I'm taking someone with me.
If the average thug breaks in, anything that goes bang would be sufficient.The Hostler

Not well. It's the velocity that lets 556 punch through.
It's interesting that green tip would punch through composite but it's too slow to go through AR500 plate while 55 grain 556 is going just fast enough to go through the steel but it gets hung up in the layers of composite. Several youtubers verify it so it must be true.The Hostler

Re: Rethinking home defense options
Flashbangs are unlawful for civilian use. You could register your own explosive devices with the ATF, but that's annoying, and with a $200 stamp, basically theft.
So here's a thought. They have these airsoft bang grenades powered by co2. basically you puncture the cartridge, and the plastic housing expands until it pops, like a coke bottle of sorts. If you filled that plastic housing with, lets say pepper spray. They have refills for them. I know it would be in a liquid form pooling at the bottom, but with the introduction of the pressure, I would think that some would be aerosolized when the pressure is at max and become airborne when the container bursts, causing at least a slight irritant to anyone in the immediate vicinity.
Now lets say you sleep on the second floor, and hear a criminal breaking through your front door in the dead of night. Grab a couple cans and toss them down the stairs as you grab your ski goggles and 3m p100 mask, and grabbing you're favorite CQB weapon. You're then heading into a situation where you have the advantage. Their eyes are irritated and have a hard time seeing. You eliminate the threat, save your family, and call the police who are only minutes away when seconds count.

A laser on the nose in any caliber will defeat any body armor.
There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

Re: Rethinking home defense options
Can't really go wrong with m193 or m855.
Rest assured that m855 works. Especially at room combat distance.Crusader's local #556 South Central Asia chapter
