Devon- anecdotes prove nothing. I have been to many GSWs. Most recently, I saw a man shoot himself in the head with a 9mm. He lived. Does that make the 9mm ineffective?
No, the .223 round is designed to "tumble" as well as ricochet.
I personally have a beretta Mod 21a in .22lr that has a vintage .22cal SIONICS Suppressor on it. It will reduce the db to about 63 which is bel;ow the average ambient sound around you of 72.
The larger suppressors work well on .223 and .308 and .220/.222. They are usually called "Cans," in that size and can bring the noticable sound down to about 103db....
NOW... where do people get bad info, usually made up or from reading 1/5 of an article on some subject and usually from no real life first person experience.
Divemedic, anecdotes? I simply stated what I had seen, the truth without embellishment.Devon- anecdotes prove nothing.
Good for you, I've seen a few myself. That means you're responding to calls.I have been to many GSWs.
Did you at least try to stop him? I mean, you really saw him shoot himself in the head? Couldn't you just shoot the gun out of his hand?Most recently, I saw a man shoot himself in the head with a 9mm.
He a very fortunate idiot.He lived.
No, that means the guy missed the vitals. Shot placement, seems I heard that somewhere.Does that make the 9mm ineffective?
Iowa cuz you gotta show me.
I dont see moderator under your username.Guys let's keep this high road, we don't need all this mean spirited sarcasm and I don't want to have to lock this.
Really, it seems you called me out with:Devon- I wasn't attacking you personally

TimM and Uncle Mike - I was being sarcastic.
It also sounds like something a 50 or 60-something person would say to a 18-20 somthing person
I'm not "underrating" it. I'm just questioning its ability to ricochet extensively inside a body. Not its effectiveness when it ricochets before hitting a target.-----Cratti
