I don’t mean to be unkind but when you said a .45 auto would cut a man in half, I knew you had never shot anything with one.
No I didn’t.Not a .45 anyway. My best friend who was an artillery sergeant(First Field Forces) and also did ops as a Phoenix program assassin did. Obviously I used a bit of hyperbole but he assured me a .45 slug will put a huge hole in someone. A .50 caliber will defiantly cut someone in half. Couple of years back at an airshow near where I live featuring a B-17 and a B-24 I bought a deactivated .50 caliber round. God Bless John Browning. “Ma Deuce’’ rules!
