AR15 and night vision, with a good alarm system, hearing protection, and a switch to kill the power to your house located in the bedroom. And it helps not to live in the ghetto.

The AR-15 is a poor choice for combat indoors. Too long and will absolutely travel through many layers of drywall. Ideally you would be looking at a sawed off shotgun with buckshot or a good HIGH QUALITY cqb weapon would be something of the MP5 or P90 sub machine guns

Pistol rounds penetrate just as much drywall, if not more, than 5.56. Buckshot also penetrates just as much drywall as 5.56. Meanwhile, a 5.56 rifle has better capacity, precision, controllability, and ROF than a shotgun or handgun.

Good experiment but read it.

4.The 5.56 rounds deviated greatly from the original flight path once they started tumbling. This occurred after the second wall. We need to do some more tests, but need to build bigger walls so that we can make sure we capture the flight path of the rounds.
5.Spreading the walls out at room distances seemed to make little difference for the pistol rounds, but made a big difference for the 5.56 rounds. Possibly this was due to the tumbling of the rounds causing them to deviate from a straight line.
But this raises an important point. When you shoot a 5.56 into walls, you cannot be sure where the flight path of the bullet will go. This is an important consideration if others are in your home.

So this right there really kills your case. ALSO yes a shotgun has a slower rate of fire and less capacity but less shots need to be fired.

The MP5 has a 30 round capacity of 9mm whos rate of fire is the SAME as an M-16 or AR-15. Except it is a 9mm round not the 5.56 thus indoors it does not deviate from its flight path through walls. Secondly it is significantly lighter, shorter barrel length for working in tight spaces. The p90 has a faster rate of fire, larger capacity, shorter barrel, lighter weight, etc.

So do your research....also I never mentioned handgun
