Anyone ever seen what happened if a bad guy was actually shot with a .44 Magnum?
Details such as bullet type, handgun type
(or even carbine type), situation, and was the perp in "fight mode" are appreciated.
I know someone who's convinced his Desert Eagle .44 Mag is the ultimate in defensive hardware and he'll only need one shot to put a bad guy down. Now I know that attitude is BS and everyone else does, I'm sure. Any info on real shootings would maybe help bring this guy back to reality.
I personally think the Dirty Harry movies have created a great myth of the .44 magnum's effectiveness. While it IS a powerful handgun round, it isn't a magic death ray, either.
Please, no Marshall and Sanow stats.
