1. Menial tasks are menial tasks. I want freshness and change in what I do, not routine and stagnation.
Then you'll have to accept not everyone on the planet is you
2. Sudden, violent introduction of an accelerated piece of metal to your body tends to dull reaction time and reflex for some odd reason. It's also unhealthy. Apply repeatedly until the intruder is gone, unless you happened to be using a shotgun, in which case he's probably something resembling the curtain in the other house's guest room the time I tried to use knives as grappling hooks to climb it.
If you fail to cause sufficient shock, mandem with metal in them is still operating. Takes nerve damage or a shit ton of shock to stop someone, more mass in bullet = more energy imparted = more shock
I'm not commenting on shotgun since that's an entire family of gun so results will vary depending on specifics

-Use your assault rifle for hunting

Oh and knives and black market guns but that's a given
Okay, that's interesting. Though my issue is that he was able to get his hands on it at all, not that it was expensive.
Expensive means only rich people can get their hands on them, and rich people can get their hands on everything because money
