I remember reading a quote from a GI in the Europe in World War 2. He said that he shot a German 8 times with the M1 Carbine and that the German still lived long enough to shoot him.
That said, my father carried a carbine during World War 2. And my Uncle deer hunted in Michigan with one.
I guess when bang-flop fails, it can be most embarrassing.
(Obviously, he may not have hit the German as many times as he thought. Or the German could have been on go-pills. Or, any number of other possibilities.)
Just kidding, I've heard humans on adrenalin do some super human feats so this would be possible, that's why 50 cal tac rifles were born and now they can clobber them to a kilometer no problemo. LOL
It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.
