^1 My Mini-14 with 16" barrel and brake is stunning when shot in an indoor range. I would guess hearing damage is probable with no hearing protection. That said I can't think of a better weapon for home defense in a life threatening situation.
I have seen lots of videos on home defense calibers and IMO any round that you rely on to stop a threat is going to penetrate traditional sheet rock/stud walls. As already said there are 556 rounds that can limit the reach to less than 9/40/45/OO buck.
