Edit: If a moderator would move this from Autoloaders to General Handgun that'd be super. Sorry for the wrong-room-post.

So a friend and I went out shooting the other day with his brother and his brother's son. It was a really fun day, got to play with a full auto HK G3 (not a REAL G3, but a modified civilian version or something like that), a Benelli M1, an HK USP Compact in .40 S&W, a Sig P239, and a couple other random pistols. That .25 Auto Barreta was interseting. SO SMALL.

Anyway, we put out this Chewy doll to shoot, and after a couple of shots to the body from me with the USP, my friend's brother (named John) took his M1 and shoot him from about 5 feet away with double-aught buckshot. I was truly amazed that not only did the figure simply get blown away, he didn't lose any body parts. There are tons of small pieces of shot still stuck in him. (You can see some shot stuck in his leg below.) My pistol rounds (7 of 10 from 7 yards hitting him and tossing him tumbling) didn't seem to hurt him much either. There's a hole in his chest where one went right through, but the hole is just kinda like flaps that closed the hole right back up. It didn't take actual chunks off, just pushed through. My friend Joe then took his P239 (also in .40 S&W) and shot his arm and head off (he hit RIGHT on the joints -- lucky shots...). That was his first three shots. He hit 2 out of 3. Of his remaining 4 shots, 2 sent him tumbling and the other 2 missed. When we went to inspect what was left of the figurine, we discovered a most amazing sight.





The .40 S&W round entered his leg. It impacted the steel cable in the leg that gives the already rather stiff rubber it's rigidity, and having hit it right in the middle, the FMJ round was split clean down the middle. It pulled the steel cable out the front of his leg, providing enough resistence to slow the bullet and stop it before the bullet split completely. Click for larger versions. Also, shut up about my Mickey Mouse bed-spread. I've had it since I was like 3 (that's right, my bed spread is 17 years old).

Chewy is one bad mothuh shut yo mouth.
 
Thus proving the .40 is superior to the 9mm in Wookie stoppage.

You heard it first on The High Road........
 
As a lifelong Star Wars fan and admirer of Chewbacca, I find this whole thing offensive. You, sir, have hurt my feelings and given me nightmares for days to come.

Besides, wouldn't it have been 10x more cathartic (and appropriate) to use a Jar-Jar doll instead?

Besides, Chewie's got the coolest gun of any Star Wars character, ever.
 
Excellent!

When I get to work tonight I am pulling my hard armor plate out of my vest and putting a Chewy doll in it. He will stop bullets and I can have his head poking out of the top of my shirt and I will talk to him like he is my partner on traffic stops. :D :evil:

Me: "Ma'am, I'm Officer ******* from the ******** Police Department the reason I stopped you is my partner Chewbacca has you on radar going 35mph in a 25mph zone. Any reason you were driving so fast?"

Chewy: "RRRARRRRAAAAAAAAAA!"

Think the Chief would get a few phone calls the next morning?

Heck, I'd take that ticket with a smile :)

In this life, I appreciate a sense of humor more than anything else. If you choose to do this, you must post pictures!
 
How could you do that to Chewy? That doll would have sold for $s on ebay. That was funny though.
