Overpenetration may kill your own family or neighbors and guns that don't overpenetrate will not stop an attacker. Toss a big can of pepper spray grenade down the hall. If they come through that hallway, they won't be able to see you as their eyes will be swollen. You can then take careful aimed fire back instead of panicked quick shots while your attackers are shooting at you with effective fire. In all likelihood, you won't have to shoot anybody because they'll just run away.
A teenager sprayed tear gas in an elevator of my hotel one night and that one spray cleared out the entire hotel. If you discharge pepper spray in your home, it will get sucked up in the return air and come back to blind/gag you too. I'll stay hunkered down and let them come to me. My lab will attack with her tongue and lick the guy to death and my Dachshund will attack his ankle. My 12ga will do the rest.
