I got my AK for a range toy, but with a slight idea of home defense. After shooting it once I've decided that's a horrible idea, way too loud. Mine is a pistol however.
I've shot about every kind of foreign ammo you can buy, fmj and hollow points. The Russian hollow points are a joke. My friend shot a tree with some in an Ak rifle, dug the bullets out, and they hadn't expanded at all.
I've also shot Hornady Zombie rounds, they were a gift, and if for home defense is what is use. But if you can reload, I'd get some hollow points and turn the velocity way down on them.
I honestly think a rifle is a bad defense idea. Unless it shoots handgun ammo
