I have a lock on my door. If they get past that they can take what they want, thats what insurance is for.
I'm not fearful of someone coming in to my apartment and attacking me, its inconceivable. |

Well, across the pond here in the UK and thanks not in small part to our great and infallible legal system which favours the victim over the criminal on every third Sunday of the month each leap year, my weapon of choice for home defence is, of course, my plucky English sense if indignation and vast respect for my fellow man. Perhaps the offer of a nice cup of tea and a chat would also help in a crisis situation of this sort; you know, 'before you clean the place out and leave my family for dead, do you take milk and sugar?' ....but not in the good china, than you very much.
I own a couple of air rifles, but there's not a chance I'd use 'em for beating off an intruder, not unless I want to get shares in Tampax and free accommodation with the nations finest Travelodge.

A 15cm dagger with 72-104 hit damage & frost damage must have a critical hit ratio of 50% or higher and the ability to repair itself, cause you see ive trained with the masters of ashenvale how to dual with two daggers and stealth when in combat ready for that assasin hit of 10+ bleeding....

I live in a very safe neighborhood so if I bought a gun it would be for recreation, not home defense. However, if I needed one for such purpose, my first choice would be a 12-gauge pump-action, probably a Mossberg 500/590 or a Remington 870, with an 18 inch barrel (the shortest legal barrel in Canada). A shotgun would be ideal because of the distintive, unmistakeable sound of the slide being pumped combined with it's imposing size, which may convince the perp to flee without you having to fire it. However if the perp is stupid enough to try and attack you instead of flee, you can be guaranteed that one shot will put him down.

I think I don't have much need in firearms since I live in city and my flat isn't that large. And in close quarters combat firearms don't give you much advantages over good old and sharp kitchen knife. Unless the intruder has passed courses for Special Forces and is training every day... By the way, I do

120lb old style tnt in a 2''6 cast iron case with an electro magnesium fuse.
The bomb is mounted just out side my bedroom door and the detanator button is next to my alarm clock. I have nothing in my house that is worth more than a human life.

P.S. But most of Russians would prefer a traumatic gun (a pistol or revolver firing "rubber bullets") or wonderful "Saiga" -
Kalashnikov-based semi automatic smooth bore assault rifle which can fire either bullets or grape-shot and is more rapid firing and reliable in service than shotguns (and in Russia it is legal to have such a thing at home). Best Regards.
