Long video but some of the stats that he presents are interesting. Maybe they should ban cars instead of guns.
Interesting.....FMJ or Hollowpoint?
And stay away from the cars , they are Deadly
And stay away from the cars , they are Deadly
Note to self...
1) change out wife's CCW .380 HP for FMJ
2) get her another .380 magazine
3) move shotgun closer to bed so I don't need a pistol to get to it.
Seriously, we've always heard stories about how ineffective handguns are at "stopping" threats. This puts some serious data behind those stories. As a hunter I'm quite familiar with how even a small deer can travel quite a distance without a heart or lungs, and how that can can be correlated to a BG continuing to move several yards towards you. It's exemplifies quite well the need to keep firing until the threat stops, usually by interrupting the nervous system.

Glad I found this. I figured everyone had seen it. 
Sticking with the 10mm full size for bad guys. And of course the Rem 870!

I load up cast bullets for everything...turns out to be the right thing to do...but I wasnt absolutely sure till now...
Thanks for posting. It kinda blows a hole in the "only use hollow points in a pistol" theory at least for me. Add going through a jacket, or jeans and then tough skin which equals 3-4 inches of muscle, it seems you could get expansion before too much damage might be done. It all seems to go back to shot placement doesn't it.
