I'll start working on my Doctoral dissertation for you and have the peer review completed for you by noon today. Will that make you happy?

Unlikely.

And people wonder why this forum is dying.

Interesting to compare the "terminal ballistics" discussions here, compared to other forums and blogs where guys like Molon Labe or DocGKR (Dr. Gary Roberts) discuss their observations. The level of ballistics expertise here is.....interesting. I carry a 642 shooting .38 Special only when...

cuz we all know you'll fly back when you get shot.

have you seen the 500 s&w round? It makes my 50ae look small. You get hit in the arm with a 50 you'll be a cripple in the arm, leg you'll defiantly never walk right again if your able to. Like I said you reference to a 50cal to a 9mm is not a very good one. Yes, I have shot the .500 S&W. Ev...

let's go to the range and chronograph

Wow, I'd like to see that.


Wing shoot someone and they simply fall down and are totally immobilized.

and I said....

A hit to the arm will NOT stop or kill them.

I never said it wouldn't wound them.

But it will not stop them dead in their tracks. They will still have fight in them.

This isn't the movies where it will blow a person 15' backwards when they get hit.

I completely disagree with that but sure

so you're going to claim that hitting a bad guy in the arm with a .500 S&W is going to be a one-shot stopping power?

a bad shot with a .500 S&W will be just as ineffective as a bad shot with a .357 out of a 2" snubby. this is not true, bullet size does matter.................. that's not a good reference at all to use Hitting someone in the arm with a .500 will be as effective as a .357. same with a leg ...

but then again, this forum has gotten great at drift.

we aren't talking about a deer hunting gun.

The OP was talking a self-defense gun with a .38 special 2" snubby revolver.

used in the environment it's intended for.

Sorry, but I'm not going to buy in to ANY of those ridiculous absolutist statements that you're making in hopes that they will somehow be viewed as as irrefutable facts. There was a good reason I've had you on IGNORE for several years now, and obviously nothing has changed. Flap you lips all you wa...

because to truly stop someone/something, One shot, you have to hit the CNS to shut them down. flat out. a bad shot with a .500 S&W will be just as ineffective as a bad shot with a .357 out of a 2" snubby. a 2" snubby in the belly will be just as effective as a a .500 in the belly. me p...

Wondering how many people are willing to take a shot from a 2" snubby to prove how anemic it really is.
