A friend of mine used to be in to that "Soldier of Fortune" stuff and had some magazines with stories of real police incidents and the crappy "stopping power" of the 9mm. One story that sticks out vividly is some guy who got out his car (after a prolonged police chase) and took something like 36 9mm hits as he walked around to his trunk, opened it and was pulling out a shotgun when a 12 gauge slug took him out.
Sheesh.
Ever watch those old "Faces of Death" videos? It takes alot of bullets to kill someone sometimes.
