Dear vyper005,
Apparantly you missed this debate earlier: http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=50895
A "stop" or "drop" may not be enough.
Hence, agreement with Amelia and PlasticSig.
Lawlessness DOES NOT PLAY BY "the rules".
No particular calibre may be "enough" or "adequate" against any particular perp...Male OR female!
Combat, which is your specific question, does not say that a man is more/less vunerable to x-calibre. Or that a woman is more likely to carry/use a knife.
The only "rule" is "the last one standing is the winner".
This is predicated upon lots and lots of experience by myself and others who have faced handguns, knives, clubs, bayonets, saps, slaps, knucks, num-chucks, (Yes. I KNOW it's nunchaku! Live with it.), mortar, machine gun, sniper and every other sort of weapon you can imagine.
I wasn't hedging any bet regarding the Arkansas State Patrolman when relating the story of his firing 40+ times at a perp. It is 'on the record'.
Ever heard of Congressional Medal of Honor winner Msgt. Benavidez? After sustaining considerable ballistic damage and bloodloss he was still going strong.
Ref: http://www.mishalov.com/Benavidez.html
Admittedly his circumstances may not be the perp down-range of your 9-mil.
But you must not mistake threat and compassion. (Stockholm Syndrome. Ref: http://www.syntac.net/hoax/stock.php)
Let me close by saying this:
"If you cannot conceive of terror, you cannot conceive of a response to terror." You can quote me.
There are no pacifists in combat.
There are no Atheists in foxholes.
End of sermon.
