i'm just trying to figure something that will do a fairly good job in small spaces (home defense) but will pull up and shoot well out to 200 yds
DO NOT USE AN AR FOR HOME DEFENSE!!
it is a last ditch item for home defense, get a Remington Express or other shotgun for home defense...seriously I cannot stress how bad bullet weapons are for home defense and how dangerous it can be as well.
A shotgun pellet will hit a wall and lose velocity and may make it 10 feet into the next room. A bullet will go through the wall, the next room, out the house and into your neighbors wall before slowing or stopping.
I am so serious about keeping those around you safe from stray fire and in an invasion situation most firing happens less than 12' from the target...can you panic level and accuratley hit body mass in 3 seconds with a bullet? I know you can with a shotgun spread but the bullet you only get one chance since the average person can close 12 feet in 3 seconds or so and you only get one shot with that kind of timing to consider.
Seriously reconsider if this is for home defense, I mean this in all honesty and out of concern for those around you.
