.50 Beowolf will probably knock 'em deader than dead... or at least by all Interweb accountz.
We understand your position by now... lethality and ninja flips above all else, but for a primary use range gun w/ primary fodder of M193, the situation calls for a 1/9. I'd also recommend the OP check out some of the other options available as far as soft points and ballistic tips to enhance the lethality in the home defense role without increasing penetration.
It's completely absurd to call a 1/9 barrel a "dealbreaker."
The 7.62x39 is not as good a choice in a defense rifle. At least the way the ammo situation is right now. I would much rather use a 5.56 loaded with 75 grain tap over any 7.62x39 load. The 7.62x51 is not a great choice for home defense due to the over penetration and its not the best choice for CQB due to the recoil and slower follow up shots. The 50 Beowolf is a low capacity weapon, for short range with excess penetration in a home defense situation. Also who is We? do you have a mouse in your pocket?
