Why would you need a gun with a high capacity magazine to stop one or two heavily armed intruders?? A shotgun would be just as effective in close quarters and would not present the problem of innocents being shot if the pellets went through windows or through thin walls. You don't need a Uzi for home protection unless you are fighting a platoon of home invaders.
