Shoot to "STOP THE THREAT". PERIOD.
Does this have something to do with a .50 BMG?

You know that somehow?This is kind of off topic, but this is why the 5.56x45 round was developed.

Only if that is the only weapon nearby.
CWO, I'd love to hear about your experiences in and with the Border Patrol.
Ok, well the 50 sure would "Stop the Threat!"
You're spending $5 a round to stop someone that a couple of $0.25 rounds will do well
Wow, you're paying way too much for 50 BMG!
Here's some online stuff for as cheap as $2.33:

but this is why the 5.56x45 round was developed. It does easily kill, but was more to wound the enemy so instead of taking one guy out of the fight, it takes down that one guy +1-3 others who have to take care of him so there are less enemies to fight against in battle. At least, this is what I've heard.

Because if I'm defending my family I don't want to take a chance on thick primers from Brazil or other countries that may or may not fire on the first hit, or they are reloads and are inconsistent.
I've no doubt you've heard that, I've heard it too. It's one of those "facts" that, while incorrect, contains a plausible nugget of truth, and so continues to flourish.
You cannot guaranty that "you" will not miss.Trust me, a .45 through the knee is going to put you down hard, and at close range I will NOT miss. Don't even ask about both knees.
You shoot to stop the threat, not shoot to kill. Play on words , maybe, but look at the impact it has.if the threat wasn't serious enough to shoot to kill, maybe it wasn't serious enough to shoot
Again you shoot to stop the threat.Every class I have taken stress the point you shoot to stop the threat. Perhaps more of your background would be helpful with the claims that you are making about not missing and "you could stop the threat". I ask because I see folks at the range who will shoot out the bulls-eye of a target, then try their hand in competition and do so bad being a bit of stress that they never return for a second go at competing. Have you ever competed?So a 250 lb. musclebound 19 year old who is threatening me AND who is obviously unarmed is a serious threat, BUT one I could stop very easily without killing him.
