That's not a gun issue. That's a house issue. What's stopping the bad guys from using 5.56 or something even more powerful on your ass? Nothing. The right answer?
I think a lot has to do with the situation you’re in… If you’re defending inside from someone coming from the outside, of course I’ll use my AR. But I think I would use my pistol in indoor closer situations because draw and target acquisition is much easier with a pistol. So then again, this might be slightly exaggerated because why would anyone shoot point blank with an AR?
I have target loads in my shotgun at home. If you survive that I feel sorry for you. And it’s not gonna go through 6 walls and into my neighbors house.
There’s also cartridge choice to consider. The vast overwhelming majority of people just buy cheap 55 grain fmj … you can buy rounds meant to stop in your target.
He isn't wrong but he also isn't right. Nothing wrong with the AR-15. But using a 5.56 or a .223 would be a bad choice for home defense due to over penetration which is what he is trying to show. But using an AR-15 chambered in say a subsonic 300 BLKOUT would be very effective. You get a lot of kinetic energy transfer and less secondary penetration. AR-15 isn't a bad choice you just want to pick the right cartridge for the job.
as someone who has been to gunsmith school and been in discussion with classmates who were veterans ofthe US military, even if 45ACP is slow it is still very effective in close quarters like a home. The most effective SD gun is the one you are most competent with. If you are cometent with the old 12 gauge go for it, if it's a pistol, cool, pistol caliber carbine, whatever. No particular caliber is really worthless, they all have a particular job they can do effectively, or a shooter who has lots of experience can do things you wouldn't expect. One of my classmates was a marksmanship instructor for Special Forces who can ring steel at 800 yards with 300 blackout. The point is, no single caliber has an all encompassing design that can do everything. A PCC in 45ACP would be perfect for home defense because the normally subsonic nature of the caliber would be less likely to over penetrate like the supersonic 9mm may do under certain conditions.
A 45 PCC or pistol caliber SBR would be great for home defense because you have a steady aim of your hand placement and the ability to do tactical movement after some training. Train with your chosen weapon, become effective with it, don't know someone's choice unless the particular gun is something that constantly malfuntions like a hi-point
I understand the premise of this video, and he's right that from a ballistics point there are better options. I love my .45 acp, but still would prefer the ar in home defense for all the other benefits of it.

Tactical advice from a teenager.
Shotgun
If youre arguments based on pen depth id say better than a 45 would be a pistol pump shotgun loaded 3 to 1 buckshot but thats just me
I'm not with Joe biden on much but a pump scatterpipe is my preference

The right answer?
Cement. Das conk creet babye.
#00 12 guage semi auto. Only home defence gun you need.
You shouldn't b giving advice on any gun related things ever again
12 Guage
You can use it ar15 use a cartridge with less powder. Your using a military grade cartridge.
This guy is a moron.
Moron
20 Guage
Frangible rounds?
space those 2x4s out half inch then do the same thing . see if there's a difference.
The real reason is because jurors do not like it.
That's why u don't use an AR15 for home defense.
Defence from what? 😂
I thought he was going to say a woman
Ya know the Ar comes in multiple calibers to serve multiple purposes. A suppressed short barrel 300 blackout is an excellent home defense weapon.
Especially one with a 60 inch barrel

Satire I hope 🤞
It's about the ammo you use with any gun
What type of ammo were you using? Just because you have a YouTube channel doesn't mean you know what you're doing. Lol
Wtf are you talking about
That poor kid needs to stick with fantasy football and college degrees!! He clearly has no clue about home defense let alone firearms ballistics!!
I have target loads in my shotgun at home. If you survive that I feel sorry for you. And it’s not gonna go through 6 walls and into my neighbors house.
Dude nobody is going to say 'pleaee shoot me again that didnt hurt'. Get over it
Mossberg 590S, with 14 rounds of 1-3/4" #4 buck…you're welcome.
Opinions are like backsides, everyone has one and they all stink
Use frangible ammunition
