You just never know.

I read a detailed account of the famous Miami shootout in which two FBI agents were killed. The agents made some mistakes which I will not go into but there were two main problems.

The bad guys had either one or two Ruger Mini 14s. The bad guys were killed but kept fighting around a minute after they should have expired. Some men just keep going on adrenaline.

Contrary to what everyone thought, the 9 mms had performed well. Both crooks were hit with none livable wounds. One 9mm bullet tore the aorta off one of the criminals yet he kept fighting for a bit.

Quite a few years ago, I read an article by Dave Arnold, now deceased who was a member of the Selous Scouts as well as an elite police unit in Africa.

He had disbursed mobs and investigated the post mortem of their killings.

He said the typical mob will run at the first shot fired. On the other hand he said if they were really fired up and had gotten into a rage, they would kill you and tear you to pieces no matter what you did.
