Actually I've discovered (thought it up and then tried it, actually) that if you're in the kitchen a stack of dinner plates are a great weapon. Grab a plate, flip it over, throw it like a frisbee and it will without fail break bones. If you miss you are already in the act of throwing the next one, so who cares?
For a pistol I like the M1911 or its derivatives. The bullet is big, soft and slow. It plays havoc with flesh but doesn't go through a wall as easily as a smaller, faster round.
