Be advised that in order for a bullet to penetrate a bad guy deep enough to cause quick inacapacitation, it would have to penetrate several walls also.
Glasers are pure [censored]. Do a google search, they have been tested by alot of people and fired in ballistics gel, wet news paper, pork shoulder ect, they make a big initial wound but only penetrate 4-6 inches. I would stay away from those.
Ps,,,how many gun fights u been in,,newspapers and pork,dont shoot back, if a bullet penetrates 6 inches ur gonna bleed, and a head shot , wow, 4 inches or 6 inches is gonna mess ur brain up, way to much cowboy data there, IMHO,
I agree to some extent. I have seen two guys shot with 9mm FMJ. One was dead, one thought he was going to die. Neither one was even considering continuing to fight. To each his own, but I think the Glasers, etc are somewhat overblown.
Not to begin a caliber debate, but even multiple shots doesn't always stop a threat. Take into consideration a reknown encounter now known as the "Miami Incident."
