They used an FNX-45T to represent the 9mm category.
I read this guys article some years back and found it to be helpful.

Ruhroh! It sounds like the maker of the video (I din click) is Gun Kid!But, but, he did charts and made a video...
He also seems to assume that in a bug out situation the .22 rifles purpose would be for defense. Want to bet he's a city boy?
Why on earth would anyone want a good small game rifle that is easy for most anyone to use and have good hits at ranges that are difficult for most people with a handgun.
He also apparently lumps all .22's into the same bar on his graph. I'm sorry to point out that a bullet fired from my Bernardelli vest pocket .22 short is going to perform quite differently than a CCI .22 Stinger from my Mossberg 146b.
I could ramble on and on (as the video did) and dispute most of the "points" made in this "study". If he wanted to describe his published report as his personal / opinions observations based on a statistically small and flawed batch of somewhat random data I'd find it much easier to swallow than trying to represent it as a "study".
This must have come with wheels and a full artillery carriage.I'm disappointed he didn't include my bugout gun in the stats: 45-70 with reflex.

No but it does have a fast draw holster and a cross shoulder strap to keep my pants from saggingThis must have come with wheels and a full artillery carriage.
We all know 3D plastic guns in 380 are the wave of the future
Its not just about self defense.The idea of a .22lr as a bug out rifle is not predicated upon it's human stopping ability but upon the idea of being able to carry a lot of perhaps "effective enough" ammo for the same weight as better killers, while being way better for game procurement.
That said, if I'm bugging out, my oldest kids have the .22lr duty. I'm going 7.62x39 or x51. I want something that dissuades even those behind some cover.
That's the idea, and @Boats is right about the use of those revolvers being intended for cavalry in particular. Some experimentation was done with the C-96 in 30 Mauser, but they always went back to .45 cal varients. Webley .455 kicks like a magnum, similar to .357 with a bit more thud and slow roll, so i imagine them to be potent. There was a time where they experimented with autos in all sorts of calibers, but even then the focus quickly became to get an auto in .455 Webley (for various reasons).Didn't the British have some huge big bore revolvers back in the late 19th early 20th century? Big heavy bullet. Low velocity. Man stoppers? I wonder how those big bore revolver cartridges would measure up today? Dunno.
Not trying to pick on you or anyone else, but .380 ammo has come a long ways in the past decade. Even my truncated hollow points worked well in the old days running in my '73 PPK/s. The Hornady defensive rounds work good for winter shooting and the 99 grain HST works great in the summer.Clothing on the perp comes into play also. A leather jacket with a vest and a sweatshirt might just make that 22 or 380 non lethal. Strictly a summer gun
I'm starting to hate these analyses. I made it to the 85% mark before I started to bang on my head with a coffee cup. All things being equal...but they're not. Real world conditions are not equal, people are not equal. I can imagine the blank stares people get from the poor guys behind the gun counters when they walk in pulling internet statistics out of their a@@es and start asking every question ever asked on a gun forum.I think it's time to start administering IQ tests at the front door of gun shops as well as being a requirement to post statistics online.
As they say.... The good news is, anybody can access the internet and post anything they want. The bad news is though, anybody can access the internet and post anything they want. Cigars is cranky, get off my lawn.
Just saying.
I just saw an analysis that shows 1-7 people hate analysis.
