Maj Dad said:This all points back to Center Mass. Shoot to wing, and you'll wing. I defy any one to show an instance when a person was shot 4 times center mass and didn't go down (with a 38 spl on up but for sure with a 45). I'm sure there are all kinds of anecdotal tales, but it just doesn't jibe with the realities of human anatomy and gunshot wounds. I'll defer to the eye-witness events of drug-crazed zombies who soaked up 50 chest wounds with a 50 BMG...
Not a problem.
How about four torso hits with a .357 magnum?
In November 1992, South Carolina Highway Patrolman Mark Coates shot an attacker four times in the torso with his 4 inch Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolver. His attacker, an obese adult male who weighed almost 300 pounds, absorbed the hits and shortly thereafter returned fire with one shot from a single-action North American Arms .22 caliber mini-revolver. Coates was fatally wounded when the tiny bullet perforated his left upper arm and penetrated his chest through the armhole of his vest where the bullet cut a major artery. Coates, who was standing next to the passenger-side front fender of the assailant's car when he was hit by the fatal bullet, was very quickly incapacitated.
Coates attacker survived and went to prison for murder.
