I just read the "Home Defense Long Guns" thread, and found it to be very informative. After reading, I'm convinced that the AR platform is clearly the best tool for the job at hand.
Given that, I do wonder what it is like to fire that weapon in an enclosed area, minus the benefit of hearing protection. Would it be so loud as to completely disorient the shooter? I'm thinking that permanent hearing loss is almost a certainty.
Has anyone had any experience or possess any data they can share?
Thanks,
