That’s always an eye opener when you see these shoots. No matter the caliber handgun bullets flying at about typical pellet rifle velocities rarely have the DRT effect or show any initial effect at all unless the CNS is hit. Handguns cartridges compared to rifle are night and day. That’s a good reason to carry a gun with enough bullets and keep shooting as the officer did.

A .45 ACP with that big 230 grain bullet looks impressive but is traveling slower than a typical BB or pellet from a cheap $100 pellet rifle sold at Walmart. It’s not at all a reliable DRT man stopper unless the brain or spinal cord is hit.
