During the 70's and early 80's a Detroit Detective named Evan Marshal wrote quite a few articles about wound ballistics for the gun magazines. That article is similiar to some of the stuff he wrote.
Yes, but most of what Marshal wrote on was his theories of the one-shot-stop, and which calibers would accomplish this, him and Sanow were in cahoots over this, and for a short time had some folks believing thats all they needed was one shot i.e. the majic bullet. Short of a snipers perfect shot, we know today its just not so, hence the reason every instructor teachs to shoot till the BG stops.
Have you read the pig study? I had it quite some time ago... I can try to track it down if you want to read it.... it's mildly interesting.
I think that was the one Mas Ayoob was involved in. I've read alot of those, some were downright silly.
When the Judge asks you "why did you shoot that man 5 times?" you simply respond with "Well your Honor, because 4 wouldn't have been enough and 6 would have been too many."
Cause thats all my J-frame holds!!
Wasn't that the "Fackler" study? If I recall correctly, they were putting a lot of focus on the .45 ACP.
great read! I remember reading many years ago from a BG point of view about coming out of a house against police, getting shot he said at point blank with a 12ga. and saying it knocked the wind outta him but nothing he couldn't handle and kept going. He then said he felt a seering pain in his arm and later wakeing up in a hospitol with his arm amputated. he had been hit in the elbow with a .45 and it destroyed the joint and bones and this was the shot that took him down. wish i could remember where i had read that to make sure all the stuff i remember was correct.
Most of the info aligns with the Strasbourg Tests, they used goats while they were munching on hay, if i remember right they shot one with a .38 wc and it went back to eating...
