A reference to this story has been posted before but thought I would repost it as it appears on the Snopes website. It goes into more detail than we had before..... :smile:

Why 9mm sucks

The pictures do not lie.
Man...did that brave soldier have a guardian angel on duty that fateful day or what?:usflag:
Thanks Bumper.

 

[Rock and Glock]

Those soldiers are tough mothers! Makes me want to pack +P+. Looks like FMJ too?

What a story!

That guy has to be in the running for luckiest man alive.

Sgt C has a great reason to smile....he is still alive to be able to do it!

 

[P95Carry]

Lucky? Guardian angel more like.

Amazing.

+1 for the USMC
+1 for the .45
-1 for terrorists
-1 for the... (uh-oh, that'll get me in trouble)

I'm glad the terrorist guy didn't, but I can't figure out why he stopped shooting. Must've been a mean look in that Sgt's eyes.

That's just God taking care of him...

All you guys who think that the 9mm is not a good defensive round because of the above story ask your dentist to do your next extraction using this method. Afterwards be sure to post the pictures.
:haha:

It does make one wonder what kind of toothbrush the guy uses - brass or stainless bristles. And I presume Hoppe's or something for toothpaste???

 

[rstickle]

That is truly amazing! Talk about having a "war story" to tell the grandkids......:banana:

If you've ever been curious as to the power of various cartridges, check this table out. It was compiled by a guy I know on another forum: It compares the raw power of various loads to the power of a pitched softball.

Actually its not the USMC. That was an Army Sergeant.

Well, no one is perfect. :danceban: Sorry, had to shamelessly plug the USMC.

You are correct. My bad. :nono: <note to self- pay attention to details>

However, he's a credit to any branch served.:hand10:
