Don't mess with Mama

also this is why we should not ban high cap mags. even thou she had a revolver some people may have a glock or XD or something. What if there was 2 bad guys and she had a xd or glock and shot one guy more than 6 times she may not be able to shoot the other guy.

Also caliber of a gun DOES play a roll in how many times you may have to shoot someone and how bad there injuries will be. For instance a 45 as a hell of a lot more knock down power and energy than say a 9mm and many other hand gun calibers. a 45 will also put a lot bigger hole and cause more damage than a 9mm. or hell even a .40.

 

...that's just it, ...there is no definitive answer, ...the number of variables is astounding, ...that's why folks w/ training understand that:

1) "stopping power" is pretty much B.S. in the general sense
2) aim for center-mass or the "occular cavity" (eyes, nose area)
3) terminal ballistics is not linear science...

...i like "capacity", ...i'd rather have more rounds than i "think" i'll need, than vice-versa

 

I doubt he took 5 bullets to the head and neck. Probably had 5 separate wounds due to fragmentation.

Still, good on mama! Perfect example of using a firearm to defend your family.

 

I can tell you if I put 5 rounds with my .45 and ammo that I carry into your head you will not be walking out of the house.

Good for this mom. I'd make and give her a trophy I I lives close to her.

 

shot placement.

 

Good for her!
