What I'm saying is that my cop friends/relatives say that #6 is the best defensive round in apartments. An intruder comes in and he's between you and the wall behind him; you unload on him and the shot at that distance (7 or 8 ft?) will hit him center chest and maybe some pellets might go through but it's doubtful. In any case what would continue on would have to go through the drywall in your apartment then through insulation (noise reduction) and then through the drywall in the other apartment. What I'm saying it's highly likely that it would penetrate into the next apartment.. Now if he standing in front of an outside wall then there's no problem.

I have an M1 Carbine by Universal. It is not mil-spec but it is a tack driver inside fifty yards, and reliable. I initially repaired it for someone, replacing the busted bolt with Iver Johnson heated treated parts. The initial thirty rounds testing it told me I had repaired it properly (I have a bolt tool for the job), but the guy who brought it to me said he would never trust it again, so he took a swap for it. Best trade I’ve made in a long time! Loaded with soft tip lead head hollow points it is a nasty tool for home defense ... minimal recoil and max inertial transfer. But the dry wall will not stop the projectiles ...
