You know, just because you have a full-auto for home defense doesn't mean you have to shoot it in full-auto mode or even have to fire a shot. I'm pretty sure if you pointed a Thompson at a criminal they would stop in their tracks. In most home invasions, you're usually talking less than 15ft between you and said attacker. Say you hit them with a blast from an Uzi loaded with hollow points. You're talking 10 rounds into them. Actually, to the people who feel that machineguns are impractical for home use: you're using a Hollywood home perception (HUGE living room, places to duck and cover, etc.) most people, would be in close proximity to the invader and repeated hits would be almost assured. I think spray and pray isn't what we're talking about, but short, close, burst fire.
