I know that even at very close range most shots miss anyway, but I think that a bunch of shots from a 9mm, or seven shots from a .45, will do the job inside my apartment.
Actually I think my bolo will do the job inside my apartment. Another good weapon is a stack of dinner plates. A dinner plate thrown like a frisbee at close range will break bones, and a lucky hit can kill.

Bolo, dinner plates? You must have a huge apartment to have the space to swing a bolo or wing a dinner plate. I'd think it'd be tough to keep them from closing the distance on you.
Now the best anti-home invader weapon in my opinion is a .12ga pump shotgun like my Mossberg 590. In the dark nothing says "git" to a burglar like the sound of a round being racked into a shot gun.
Mine has a bayonet lug and mounts a standard M7/M9 Army bayonet (Yes Obama they still issue bayonets). I figure it'd serve pretty good to keep someone at bay without having to splatter them.
