TTQ B4U Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Sounds like smith needs to hit the range more ..... 4 hits and still alive. ^^ Agree. Adrenaline impact likely but damn!

RyM3rC Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Even if the shooter was using a .380, proper shot placement would have killed someone dead right then. Were he using a .45 and scored multiple center mass hits, the bullet sponge would still have a good chance at surviving if medical attention was on scene quick enough. This isn't 24, and people don't instantly drop dead after being hit anywhere with a .45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have to shoot someone I want to stop them even if I don't shoot them in the heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Even if the shooter was using a .380, proper shot placement would have killed someone dead right then.

This isn't 24, and people don't instantly drop dead after being hit anywhere with a .45. Ever shot anyone? Accuracy drops significantly when you're in that position. I think he did really well just hitting him all 4 times, that doesn't usually happen. The idea is to do the most damage with the least amount of shots. If I have to shoot someone I want to stop them even if I don't shoot them in the heart. That's the idea. The problem is that you have to cause extreme damage to stop them without hitting a vital organ. The body can actually deal with a lot of trauma for a short time.

87GT Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 The idea of using deadly force is to stop the person from threatening your life not killing them. And Hal already summed up my feelings on his accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyM3rC Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 An injured person can still kill you. A dead one can't. Yes. If the force wasn't deadly, then it really isn't "deadly force." But you are right, generally the idea is to defend until the attacker(s) are incapacitated, not necessarily dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
