I managed to get two questions in before I bailed. The stupid damn ads popping up and the 'required' survey thing were all a tad annoying.

I failed both questions, so I doubt I missed much other than a possible 0% rating on this one, ha.

I use Ghostery, which allows ads that are spyware free. Needless to say, I see very few ads. I do see them here, though  :D

Interesting, thanks.

And I don't care; Berettas are sexy weapons and I like the 92's lines.  Problem isn't in the size of the caliber that we're using, but in the ammo we (the military) have to use.  Ball ammo is what it is and to paraphrase a fellow I used to know in the Army, "there ain't no replacement for displacement," when it comes to using ball ammo - which is why the .45 was chosen over the .38 (which is around 9mm in size but not as fast a round, I think) way back in the day in the first place.  Bigger, slower round = bigger hole in person generally.

On the flip side, the book by William Fairbairn (sp?) about his time in the Shanghai police tells about terrible wounds from the "mauser," round - a hot, fast round compared to .455 Webley - which kind of runs counter to the bigger is better idea.  Dang good book, by the way.

Safe to say that this question will bedevil all the gun peoples up until they adopt lasers or blasters as primary military weapons at which point they'll bitch that "all those dang laser bolts just shoot right through people and don't bounce around and mess 'em up like good ol' bullets used to do, yessiree," and then go to gripe how their internet was so slow back in the day that it used to take them whole minutes to download movies sometimes.

In real life I had never hold a gun but in gaming specially in Counter strike I am having 70% accuracy of head shots.

Found an article for you that may clarify the issue a bit :)

One critical rule of firearms safety is that the bullet must stay in its intended backstop. No responsible shooter would go to one of the older indoor shooting ranges that have a warning poster saying "Lead Bullets Only, Jacketed Bullets Can Pierce Backstop" and then proceed to pump hard-jacketed bullets into that frail backing.

On the street, the only safe backstop for the defensive handgun's bullets is the body of the offender. Therefore, it is not exactly responsible to be firing bullets that are likely to shoot through the assailant. This is one of the main reasons law enforcement in its virtual entirety has gone to expanding bullet handgun ammunition in this country. It was a lesson written in blood.

Seven Cases Highlight the Reality

In 1999, New York City became almost the last major police department to adopt hollow-point ammunition. They did so in the face of huge, long-term opposition based on political correctness and the erroneous perception of hollow points as wicked "dum-dum bullets."Seven Cases Highlight the Reality

One reason they were able to pass it was that the city fathers had been made to realize how much danger the supposedly "humane, Geneva Convention-approved" ammunition previously used presented to innocent bystanders and police officers when the duty weapons were fired in self-defense or defense of others.
