[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2913464, member: 5412"] I've been trolling a bit, but in reality, it takes a hit that causes the maximum of blood loss to the brain to cause death or a round that hits the spinal column to instantly drop the subject being shot. Human or animal. There are some that will argue to the death that the larger diameter of the .45 ball will nick an artery that the 9mm ball will miss. Possibly, but it would be a huge stretch for that to happen. Not saying it hasn't , but I'll leave that there. 99.9% of gun owners are not highly trained. 99.5% are marginally trained by going to the range a few times a year and shooting a box of ammo. (percentages are just my thoughts, and not actual data) So that leaves the rest. We help train some Army reserve troops at our range. Some of the newbs try to load the mag backwards. Even though they have been through Basic Training, they are newbs with rifles. We also use the Berretta M9 for their training. In their basic training, it seems they do not get adequate training. I'm sure with AIT they get much more hands on, but for the reserves, they only get to qualify with 40 rounds per year with the current AR rifle. Not sure if they get training at all with the M9 other than some familiarization. [/QUOTE]
