[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 990345, member: 229"] I love hearing stuff like this. Is there a round that knocks people down? Hunting often involves stopping much larger animals than people and they are rarely "knocked down" by the impact of a bullet - you stop someone by doing the same thing you do when hunting: you put a large hole (or just generally cause damage by way of a hollow-point or soft-nose round) through a vital area and they can't continue attacking you. Today's bullet technology means that there are rounds designed to do much worse damage than even 10-15 years ago. So you can put a 2" hole in an attacker's center of mass, or you can put a 3" hole in their center of mass - both are more than effective enough to defend yourself (I'm approximating the size of the holes - there's plenty of research out there to show the difference in the various calibers - but this thread isn't about that, so let's stay on track). This isn't NATO and I don't have to use ball ammo in my carry gun. I'll shoot them a second time if I need to because I'll have a quick follow-up shot, more rounds, and less recoil thanks to my 9mm +P Speer Gold Dots or Federal Hydra-Shoks. [/QUOTE]
