He either had the wrong gun and load or he couldn't hit the broadside of a barn standing in the barn.

There's nothing wrong with the gun or the caliber. Easily could have been loaded incorrectly, and the placement poor. A combination of the two is a really bad situation.

I agree. Energy doesn't kill. Holes in vital organs leaking massive amounts of blood do. Energy just goes along for the ride.


I prefer innies and outies.
