Shot 16 times and walked 2 miles to hospital

[1942bull]

OK GUYS:

Want to tell me one time again which caliber is the best for a one (or two) shot STOP?????

(Yeah, I know, I know, but had to toss that in anyway )

50 caliber.

As I heard in all those self defense pistol classes..."Shot them in the hip and it will shatter."

Yet another self defense myth shot to hell.

Looks like he was shot with .40 or .45 acp...

The guy got lucky. Apparently they shot at him at least 23 times.

lots of die hard .45 fans are going to be really disappointed to find out one 230gr round doesnt actually kill everyone immediately.

Nobody will be able to complain around him ...
"I have a headache" - Yea, well that doesn't hurt like getting shot 16 times.
"I'm too tired to go on a walk" - I walked 2 miles to a hospital, after being shot 16 times.


Humor aside, this is a good example of why I deem "just" a pocket gun insufficient.

Make no mistake, the person in the ER with a headache who got there first will be complaining about not being seen first.

Police are not identifying the man who somehow made it to Temple University Hospital and admitted himself.

And this right here is an example of why I think its important for hospital personnel to be able to carry. I know they didnt name him, and even if they did, hes likely not checked in under his real name, but someone clearly wanted him dead, and now they know where he is.

The laws of probability say bigger and faster will probably do more damage. How big and how fast can you control?

If your strategy is a one shot stop, which with a handgun is an iffy proposition. I think the better strategy is a CNS hit with any caliber that meets basic standards. So the more important question is: What can you shoot most accurately, and if the target doesn't go down immediately, what can you get the most accurate follow up shots with?

Control includes accuracy and follow up shots.

Of course. My point is there is always a trade off and on the trade off, I would go for more accurate before I would go for bigger.

Micro RPG is the next BIG EDC.... Who will be first to offer one? Sig, Glock, Springfield......

Who here would offer to be an early adopter? I volunteer.....

[flh]

I can hardly walk 2 miles , let alone with bullet holes

[OldVet]

Let's see him take 17 shots from one of these!

While Sig and Springfield have been working on tiny double stacks, this is what smith and wesson is working on. Cross thread points?

If so.....I might finally buy something from S&W again......

And he was shot with a derringer.

Or an airsoft gun, given today's standards of reportage.

Where is the caliber specified?

Seems like 16 hits out of 23 shots fired is not a terrible accuracy rate, especially if this included at least 1 reload. Sometimes the chips just don't fall your way...

[starlights]

what kind of pain-killers will be prescribed in this case?

50 caliber.

AMEN! Funnest gun I’ve ever shot. Bucket list to own one, tripod and blow backs
