I recently watched a video clip that a friend lent me where he tested out .22 magnum rounds fired from a Taurus carbine on a suit of home made plate mail armor hung up like a scarecrow. (Don't ask....he's a SCA fan.) Anyway, it got me thinking......
If one suddenly were presented with the threat of a charging knight w/o horse in full medieval plate armor from 25 yards away....what would be the best revolver/ammo combination to stop him before he got within sword range? Would 110 gr +p+ .38 special ammo from Cor-Bon fired out from a 4" barrel revolver do the job?
On more practical terms, which revolver/ammo combination works best for breaching makeshift metal plates worn as protection by rioters and other troublemakers?
