I wouldn't trust my life on it, personally. (jmho) Most criminals will probably run or freeze if they saw someone with an ar and laser/light pointed at them. So intimidation factor is high compared to a handgun, esp at night. However if I was an intruder with a big gun and possibly drugged out, or that off chance the guy has some military type training.. you might wish you'd brought a bigger gun.
I'd might be pissed if you didn't take me out in the initial flurry of shots. At that point.. I'd be "***, I shouldn't have listened to the interwebs and bought that M&P15 or tac shotgun, this guys shooting at me, now what?" heh I think most theives are generally stupid and will run with noise.. but I'm not willing to take that chance for that instance it's not and they start spraying or have more experience than someone on america's dumbest criminals. Don't under estimate your enemy.
