I can take getting poked in the ribs, adds to the fun.
But I stand by, if you NEED to shoot someone, blow the sucker up and don't play around. Sort things out after.
Spent time with a little Kel Tech nine, DAO and four of us only got a nick on a liter bottle of water at 10 yards with a box of ammo. Worst trigger pull on earth. False insurance!
The nine issued to the military was hated. A .357 or .41 would do better and in a block at least a 40.
Sure an ACP can fail but it is the bullet used since deer have been killed with the right bullet.
Just watched about sniper rifles in Nam. Took thousands and thousands of rounds from the M16 to kill one Cong. Average for a sniper was 1.3 rounds. The Matell toy could not penetrate the jungle but a 30-06 or .308 could go through 2' of wood and kill. The 7.62X39 was a better gun.
