When I shot a deer this season directly in the heart, it still ran 30 yards.
I have actually read the exact same thing about a human.
ALL casualties die of shock
This is why I might want a bigger bullet.
Bigger bullet = more surface area to transfer bullet energy.
I have heard of ppl not realizing that they have been shot with 9mm.
I might carry a .45 in hope that the person I shoot in self defence will realize that he is shot when he is shot so that he might begin psychological shock.
In the end, the only way to instantly disable someone would be to sever his spine above mid back.
And the only way to instantly kill someone would be to destroy his lower center brain.
I have seen and read about ppl that survive massive brain damage.
There was this kid on tv once that was missing half of his head due to a .357 accident.
So a head shot preferably between the eyes (if he is facing you) is most efficient.
It seems that the ppl that believe in stopping power are the same ppl that believe that ppl fly back a few feet when shot with a .357 lol.
Yep, they fly through the air and through the glass window behind them.
I love hollywood.
And of course they die before they hit the ground. lol
O wait, the good guys dont die before they hit the ground, they die when the hero holds them in in his arms.
at least you hunters understand stopping power
OK thats enough for now.
[edited to add: between the eyes (if he is facing you)]
