Sheesh.
Ever watch those old "Faces of Death" videos? It takes alot of bullets to kill someone sometimes.

Mike,
Have heard the same several times. Perps on Angel Dust (PCP) or whatever just kept coming when hit with a 9mm, while a .45 or shotgun put them down. I like stopping power when its needed!
