[Shooter 2.5]

Why? Was the math wrong?

If you do everything you can to gather all the shooting with a particular load and then take only the torso hits, then study the aftermath and find out how many quit the fight after being hit, you can find out the percentage.

It could very well be the shooters of the gunfight used a 9MM because it was inexpensive to practice with, easy to carry and they were familiar with it. Their hits may have been all in the A zone.

I'm a firm believer in people using what they can hit with. If someone is more comfortable with a minor caliber because they can hit a one inch square across the room in a mili-second, that's what they should use. It beats the heavy caliber that became a gunsafe queen because the person isn't comfortable with it.

Shooter 2.5 makes an execellect point. No one ever died from a loud noise. You have to be able to hit what your shooting at.

I'm not a fan of the 9mm. I think it's an underpowered round. I much prefer my S&W 686 .357 w/ 4" barrel. But again, a more powerful round is not going to help you if you can't hit with it.
