I'm kinda surprised at the number of people that are pretty lackadaisical about their defensive ammo.
No. As Old Fuff said in his post 10...
I had Mentors & Elders. Ladies and Gents that had BTDT and survived.
MASH nurse, killed with hardball from a Gov't 45 when the enemy decided to come visit.
Another, in another Country, Preferred 32ACP FMJ, again he survived and others took a dirt nap.
Cops, when I coming up, shot qualification out to 50 yards , not feet, yards.
I get bigger, and am working in the Main OR.
One patient stuck a .357 revolver in his mouth and pulled the trigger on a .357 loading, and lived.
Another patient had been shot 14 times. He lived.
Still we did not know what all he had been shot with, until we got into him and officers investigated the scene. Ammunitions ran from 32ACP, .380ACP, 9mm, .45ACP, .38spl , .357 .
The two most life threatening wounds, the .32ACP FMJ and .380 FMJ because of where they were "placed".
Hey even the fella shot with a standard load of Nine Pellet 00 buck lived.
No magic guns, no magic ammo. Shot Placement, and Lady Luck is just about it. Oh and being real darn quick about it.
