I think you’re misinterpreting what large-caliber advocates are actually saying. A large caliber weapon is a good defensive weapon in that it gives you better stopping power (i.e., the ability to stop an attack immediately) than a smaller caliber weapon. Both large and small caliber weapons are about equally lethal — if you get hit in the right spot, and equally nonlethal if a vital organ isn’t hit.
You took the words right out of my mouth.

Large-caliber isn't so much about going for the kill as stopping an attacker in his tracks.

Read my post #23. I answer this guys question. Don’t agree? Well too bad, a lifetime of experience stands behind my statements, how about you? Any firefights in your past, or are you just parroting what you have heard and what you think is correct?
