I'm wanting to get a full caliber .308 semi auto battle rifle (gonna be an m14 or FAL, maybe ptr91). Thing is though, I like to know that the gun I bought will be practical and that I might have some legitimate, life saving uses for it.

Barring such scenarios like SHTF. In a normal civilians life is there any potential self defense use for a .308 semi auto?

They say it's too loud and too much penetration for home defense.
