Two men settle the caliber debate

[v0lcom13sn0w]

Well as much I like my muzzleloaders...and I have no doubt that they would work for self / home defense...this is my first choice...my Series '70 Colt in .45 acp...

yeah and with your muzzleloaders you could test your smoke alarms at the same time!

Using the logic of the OP if survivor would have shot the deceased with a .22lr and deceased shot the survivor with a .45 acp the .22lr would be superior to the .45 acp

Shot placement is king.

 

[Goosebrown]

It's clearly stick and you're a friggin idiot if you don't think so too!!

A 1911 stick. Yeah.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Shot placement as mentioned before is important , that said...
Willingness is important as well.
Willingness , as in being willing and able to pull the trigger when needed and willing to face the consequences for doing so.

The best target shooter in the world , who always can make those little shot groups we all like , may make the worst combat shooter 'cause he ain't willing to place the shot where its needed on another human.

At least it's not Mother Goose & Grimm.

It seems like it'd be educational to get shot in Andy's home.

Oh.. this is why the civil war had such a high mortality rate!

Nossir. The recent WoNA had such a high mortality rate from rampant disease.

It explains all the people that say the 22lr is just fine for taking deer, right?

A lot of wars body count is due to disease.

I'm talking about the mortality rate of casualties due to balls of lead >0.5 inches hitting people.

I just read through this, what was the question again?

Something about .45 caliber beating .40 short and weak in a revolutionary war that Andy funded.

Through the eyeball into the brain I suppose...

 

[Colts4me]

In my best phoney English accent....


Oh I say, the incident didn't answer any questions. By the by it just opened the door to more questions. Quite simply put, is it posible the jolly old gentleman was a better shot than the street ruffian? Plus it may be just possible the fellow who reached room temperature may have been too afraid to shoot well. Plus it's also the thug may have used the ghetto side grip on his glock which lessened his ability to make hits.

Tally ho chaps

 

[Tom T]

Just never mind.

I am very good at that!

 

[Mountainman38]

I choose not to comment.

Too late.

 

[Mountainman38]

No link needed. Common sense. How else do you think Egyptians defended themselves against dinosaurs?

Slave labor?

 

[Mountainman38]

I prefer "Old School, Tacticool" 12 rounds of .44 cal. goodness!
It's all about the smoke and fire
after I miss, I can duck and run with a smoke screen at my back and scream like a little girl

That sounds like summertime, when I see the ice cream truck.

Pretty sure Cain, as exhibit 1, proves the superiority of stone.
