Well 30 why not just get a Saiga with a 21 round drum. Then you dfinitely have them all out gunned.
Personally I've been thinking of going with the FN 5.7x28 in pistol or rifle. Elite Ammo makes rounds that will penetrate through both sides of a level II vest and still get 8" or more of penetration, from the pistol. They also have a round based on the Vmax bullet that fragments.
If you miss it might cause a bit of a mess though. It definitely wouldn't be appropriate in an apartment.
Back on topic. I would get the training to use the weapon more effectively. I would also practice untill I was comfortable shooting at a distance equal to th longest unobstructed distance in the house. My bedroom and the kid's bedroom are on oposite sides of the house. So to me a hunker down position is not acceptable. I have to be able to shoot at least 11yards dead on to effectively defend my home. So, I make sure to practice heavily at that distance.
You might be able to take an NRA home defense course for as little as $90. Then you would still have the money for an inexpensive 20 or 16 gauge. If you have a significant other they could hunker down with that while you attempt to secure the house.
