5.56 M193 vs M855 for home defense...

I think this debate is like the .40 or .45 or OC or CC...lol. We all have what we'd prefer. In an open crowd I'll take an FMJ anyday. I don't know those strangers!

Actually, it stands for Hey! Oriental Laughingstock Approaches!

But don't tell anyone of asian heritage - they get made when you refer to them as oriental.

People laugh at me when I say that I'll only buy a house that is made of brick or cinder block...stuff like this is why.

I'm not too worried about the internal walls of a house I buy.

Anybody have any DOCUMENTED instances (that you can provide references to) of rounds fired in self-defense inside a house penetrating another house or accidentally penetrating a wall and hitting someone besides the target? Lots of discussion and tests out there, lots of instances of accidental shootings, but no instances I can find of over-penetration.

I lean towards grabbing the FAL if it becomes necessary. Pretty much nothing you can hide behind in my house in that case. Lots of concealment but no cover. If I know where you're at you're gonna get stopped.
