So a .44 magnum does more damage to the human body than a .25 ACP? I never would have guessed. Gosh, I'm glad they did this study.
Coming next: Does being hit by an 18-wheeler semi do more damage than being hit by a bicycle? Researchers want to know!
To: Simon Green
Researchers want to know! Researchers want to be funded! There. Fixed. ;-)

Yet the .22 and .25, combined, kill more people worldwide than any caliber.
So when they are done with BIG BULLETS they will start with TINY KILLERS.

5 rules of a gun fight:
1) gun beats no gun
2) fast beats slow
3) a hit beats a miss
4) big holes beat small holes
5) two holes beat one hole

I wish to study the leathality of the various kitchen knives in my knife block, from the decoration and paring knives to the 10” boning knife and chef’s knife.
Where do sign up for the research grant?

WOW! Bigger guns firing bigger bullets do more damage. Shocking! I’m so glad these geniuses did this important study. Otherwise, we never would have known.
Say, I wonder if muzzle velocity matters at all? There’s a topic for another groundbreaking study!

The whole point of shooting a gun is to kill what you’re aiming at. When exactly would you not want your shot to kill?
To: Simon Green
Does this mean they want us all to buy M-16 equivalents? After all, the small assault bullets will be less likely to kill than my 44.

Hmmmm... No mention of the reason for shooting the decedent.
It’s almost like they don’t care!

Just wondering.

Wellllll....who would have thought.......there is a well known and researched study of hundreds of handgun deaths with info gleaned from police reports that indicates shot placement is a much more reliable lethality predictor than caliber in general...

"And they left out the .45 ACP, the tac-nuc of small arms? For shame... I think they didn't include the .45 ACP because most people defend themselves with a .45 by just showing the cartridge and the bad guy passes out from fear that if shot it will kill their soul. They rarely need to be shot after that. Even the mere mention that you know what a .45 ACP looks like and most bad guys run away and their hair turns white. (/s)
To: Simon Green
They say that the information undermines the argument that “people kill people...not guns”.....how the “information” presented lessens the contribution of people from the equation is an “insight” which demonstrates the writers separation from logic and real life.
