i posted the picture of the meth-head that was shot 33 times by a 9mm before falling, on another forum and its validity has been called into question. ive searched this forum but cannot find the source of this picture (to use as validation on the other forum). any help would be appreciated.

But firing this large number of shots at or into one man is unheard of! Not at all. In one famous case, an armed drug addict in Cook County, Ill., was shot 33 times with 100 gr. Winchester PowerPoint softnose bullets from the Model 59 S&W pistols of multiple deputies, and remained on his feet trying to reload the gun he had emptied at officers. He was put down by the second of two 12 gauge rifled slugs subsequently fired into his still-upright body.

Time frame is very important--1960/70. There were not any quality 9MM JHP rounds around. Illinois State Police switched to the semiauto 9MM in I believe the late 50s or early 60s.

Before that my BIL carried 158gr lead round nose 38s in his Python.

Last, none of the 33 rounds hit anything of immediate value to the individual involved.

found it! the picture appeared in "street survival" by caliber press which is a police training publication as i understand it.

Where were the shots placed?....can't imagine any (unless the 33rd) were head shots?

Very informative pic but - just in case anyone does not want to see it (unlikely!) have left just the link - it is surprising but accept it is a pic of a well ventilated corpse! Chris, P95

Good thing I carry 35 rounds instead of just 33.
