Bad idea. Ballistic personal defense weapons work by penetration. The reversed HBWC will have extremely limited penetration.

.... which is one of their virtues if "over penetration" is an issue, like in a home or apartment. A hunting bullet that expands and expends it's energy in the body of the animal is said to be more effective than one that merely goes through leaving a pencil sized hole. Many hunters can vouch for that and why FMJ ammo is not allowed for hunting in most jurisdictions.
Compared to a .38 LRN, .32ACP or .380ACP FMJ from a pocket pistol, a M36 with reversed HBWCs sounds like a better deal.
You pays you money -you takes you choice.
It's a moot question for us Canucks who are denied CCW by the politicians who have 24/7 armed protection at public expense. The use of a firearm for self protection this side of the DMZ puts you in more trouble than the creep who broke into your house and threatened you and/or your family.
You may be exonerated in court, but it's going to bankrupt you, the process part of the punishment.
