Frangible bullets

And here we make fun of journalists for assuming that all private
aircraft are Cubs.

They aren't?

No, there are two types of private aircraft: Cubs (sometimes called a Cessna Cub)
and Learjets. It depends on whether it has propellers or not.

Maybe *you* do. The FBI shoots to kill. I don't know what the policy of the Air
Marshalls is.

I guess it depends whatever supposed law-enforcement training they had before going
in for the 5 days of "air marshal training." Some of it was pretty spotty.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

I had to follow a blood trail once. Turned out, I had put a Federal Ammo 8mm
bullet right through the lungs at 80 yards. The deer made it 100 yards through
heavy brush and covered itself over with leaves. Had to come back with a dog to
find it.

The only REAL one shot kill/stop is a shot to the (I'm going to botch
the
spelling here I'm sure) Obdula Oblongota (the part of the brain you take
out
when you shoot yourself in the mouth to commit suicide).

Medulla Oblongata. And it's amazing how many people miss this (or
anything
else lethal) when putting a gun in their mouth.

Quickie tonsillectomy.


Quite. "Securing the situation" means taking out all the bad guys, even
those hang back.

Depends what service you're in :-)

Room Service.

Are you stupid by birth or do you work at it? We've had seeral here
suggest
that one shout merely shoot to disable. During 40 years of shooting I've
heard several people suggest that one should only "shoot to wound". The
people that confuse movies with reality is appalling, especially when it
comes down to life and death siuation.

Phasers on stun, Mr. Spock.

Owwwww!!!

I carry 2 reloads, actually (22 rds total). I can accurately (@7 yrds)
empty A mag
in about 3-4 seconds. Even with a first shot kill, the other 7 rounds
will be flying
before someone "stops". 4 sec. to reload, so roughly 10 sec. to "stop"
and prepare
for the unseen partner.

Have you ever really had to use a gun for a living? I say this only
because
you just fired off all of your ammo at someone who you yourself said may
be
dead. My question to you now is what are your going to do about the second
person behind you?

Two words for you my friend...Double Tap.

Three shots as a Mozambique Drill.

Frangibles work well inside a urban home, at distances of less than 20 feet.
