I was acquainted with a guy in the early 60's that had been in the philiphines with the O.S.S. and while working his radio looked down to see about 2 foot of Jap bayounet sticking through his belly.
Said he turned and shot the jap with his .45, blowing the jap back, and in turn pulling the bayounet with him. He returned to tapping out his message and once again found the big sticker sticking through his belly and again shot the jap.
It happened a third time and then he shot the jap in the head. I asked how the jap had been able to get up and the guy told me that the particular jap sticking him had wrapped himself in a mat of small thin bamboo, which kept the exit wounds bound together, and that at that time they were usually doped up.
Should have been a head shot on the first one. In the 70's, I was aquainted with Jack Weaver (for you shooters, he is the guy that the "Weaver" stance is named for).
Jack could keep an empty beer can in the air with a gvt. model .45 (usually my beer can, cause Jack drank mickey wide mouth which is in a bottle).
Remember,
Two to the chest,
one to the head,
makes sure they're,
really dead.
