Re: Man with Knife Attacks Officer and Gets Lit Up
There's no such thing as a "best stopping power caliber" nothing beats marksmanship, which was lacking in the video. A .22 cal in the nose would stop him instantly whereas a .50 cal 1/32th of an inch to the side of his head will not do any damage. |

Re: Man with Knife Attacks Officer and Gets Lit Up
People tend to forget that the human body can actually suffer considerable damage and continue to function even when mortally wounded. Mammals as a whole have evolved multiple overlapping systems to eke out as much time as possible to fight or flee. About the only way to drop someone in their tracks is when the central nervous system suffers catastrophic damage. Even when such damage does occur, it doesn't mean that death is instant, as severing the spinal cord along any of the thoracic vertebrae will quite handily drop someone, but it's not going to kill them for quite some time. One example of such resilience can be seen in the combat footage showing the actions of John Chapman back in 2002. While there is a tendency to embellish actions such as his, there is no doubt that he suffered catastrophic damage, but kept on going for an utterly insane period of time. |

9 bullets and the guy still gets him. "He should've just shot him in the leg and it would've ended everything and everyone would still be alive." - Joe Biden Yes, he really said that. Because he totally saw it in the movies. |
