I like this thirt.... kinda says it all, don't it??
Brutus Out!
I shake my head whenever I see that shirt or meme.
I have a friend who was hit in the upper chest/shoulder with a round of 7.62x39, from about 50 yards away. He continued to fight, until thrown from a vehicle by an IED explosion. This same person knows another guy who took a round of 7.62x39 in almost the same place, and finished a firefight. They both lived. You'd never know that my friend got hit. He's not disabled in any way.
7.62x39 > .45 ACP, and it still didn't get a one shot stop on a guy who I would guess is about 5'5", 140 pounds. Granted, he's about as mentally tough as you're going to find, but the fact remains that "stopping power" really isn't what people think it is.
That tshirt is for people who just don't know any better.
