    defense rounds that anchor targets will penetrate

    An option you might consider would be a light weight varmint bullet getting launched from an AR15

      Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. Jefferson's "Commonplace Book," 1774_1776, quoting from On Crimes and Punishment, by criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1764

              Get an AR, mini 14. some .223. Won't penetrate as much and still has good knock down power.

                    I always used bird shot,it has a good spread and its not over penetrating.

                      How small are you talking? 10' or less in each room and hallway?

                        I keep low-recoil 00 buckshot in my 870 at all times.

                          If it's going to stop a bad guy, it's going to go through drywall. Ever punched through some gypsum board? It's not exactly the strongest thing in the world.

                            More practice & go with the one that you are good with because to be honest it's hard to find something that has stopping power but won't go thru the wall.
