The 5.45X39 cartridge is an excellent, well balanced anti-personnel round.
Hornady's new offering should reduce penetration adequately to make it viable for home defense. I believe this is similar, or perhaps identicasl, to the ammunition they furnish to law enforcement SWAT operators for urban scenarios.
This round would be several orders of magnitude superior to a .45 ACP.
