Top tip, always be in "fear of you and your family's life", believe "they were armed" and always state you asked them to stop/leave.

When testing cases the CPS use this criteria for "reasonable force" to decide whether or not to prosecute: the minimum force necessary a reasonable person would need to use to achieve a legal aim (get the intruders to leave etc.). Any more and they will start proceedings.

And if they do leave dont chase after them. PMSL
