[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3767785, member: 43724"] Just go back and review the Miami/Dade FBI gun fight from the 80's. This case is the gold standard of what people can do even when shot. One guy took a 9mm round to the side that broke ribs, went through one lung and stopped just short of his heart. Afterwards he was able to still kill 2 agents and wound 2-3 others. Self defense rounds are used to inflict the most amount of damage as possible. Expanding ammo (hollow points, hydroshocks, etc) are more about transferring energy than penetration. The more vital organs you can turn to mush means the quicker the assailant will drop. [/QUOTE]
