[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2843947, member: 26737"] The infamous Miami shootout that led the FBI to standardize on 10mm featured a bad guy who received a non-survivable wound within the first moments of the fight (one of the agents' shots basically took off the top of his heart), but in the ensuing minutes he still managed to kill or wound several agents before his body finally realized that he was dead. Heck, a quick read-through of Medal of Honor citations will tell you there's no such thing as a "one-shot stopper." If guys who've been hit by artillery, anti-aircraft fire, or land mines can do the stuff some of those guys did, ain't nothin' you can fire with one hand gonna be a guaranteed one-shot man-stopper. FWIW, the purpose of the center-of-mass shot isn't to do the most damage, it's to maximize your chances of getting a hit. A center-mass hit with a .22LR may not stop the bad guy, but it's a hell of a lot better than a miss with a .44Mag. [/QUOTE]
