I watched them melt an AR in full auto also a 9mm Clock.
Everything is subjective I guess, a 45 cal that I miss with 90% of the time is not really a better option than a 32 I hit with 90% of the time. 😄
Of course just the appearance of the bigger gun might deter most.
Dear itsahoot,
One more variable, besides handgun size/caliber ...
Indoors or outdoors and ‘our’ ears vs. ‘their’s ears.
( I guess that is ‘two’ more items.)
