Speaking of vanity threads, I am considering one that inquires if a 22 would have been as effective if it followed the same path through the heart.

I have arthritis in my right wrist and the sharpness of the Keltec P-3AT is making for a lot of pain after a little range time.

Anyone have a forensic opinion? I was watching the testimony of the forensic expert, but I didn’t see the issue addressed.

Just as a follow up. We found out that a center mass shot could take out the entire heart and you would still be in danger for up to 15 seconds. 15 seconds is a LONG time in a deadly encounter. While I realize a larger caliber would also tend to knock back the target, they could still get back up and continue the attack.

In a “grappling” situation, a head shot would be very difficult.
