[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 3767781, member: 27098"] From what I understand self defense ammo is not designed to necessarily kill, it is about energy transfer, in theory. The shock of the bullet striking them is supposed to incapacitate the attacker, knocking them out much like a punch to the jaw. In practice all sorts of strange things occur. Guns and Ammo had an account years ago of a drug addled axe wielding assailant hit 18 times with a .357 Magnum, the person defending themselves used speed loaders 2 times! Finally after being struck by the 18th round the assailant fell. [/QUOTE]
