If I had no choice and was up against the wall, no where to evade...
Hmmm...
If it absolutely, positively has to get done, then make mine a 1911.
I can control it, double tap it, and drill the BG with accurate, sustained volleys of 230g mortar balls. To me, this spells relief.
In WW II, 9mm Axis bullets would connect with our GI's, they would return fire with .45acp and kill their attackers. Numerous accounts of this by both Allied and Axis combatants. I'm not saying the 9mm Axis rounds weren't sometimes fatal, just that ours were more consistently so and more immediate in effect.
