9mm handgun that can blow a lung out of a body

Even the title made it seem like the start of a franchise.
Shane Black wanted to bring it back about eight years ago - said he'd still like to, but right now he's got an animated series on FOX he is promoting - Craig Banyon, P.I.

44 mag removes much flesh and causes much damage little hard to get back on target after recoil but its what I choose

Yeah Fred Ward and Joe Gray did a better job. I don’t think I could’ve taken a Peter Brady look alike as a valid replacement.

It’s a shame they didn’t make a sequel back in the 80s or 90s.

80s was a great time for a lot of sleeper movies.

I challenge you to try out your theory. We can start another thread like the buffalo Yellowstone thread.

Ive seen the difference,
How much bullet does it take? You still want 45 acp with a muscular man in winter clothes?


Proponents of the .45 caliber will say that they prefer the bigger round because it would have a higher possibility of hitting a vital organ. With only that reasoning, sure that’s hard to argue against. But factor in this — According to the FBI, law enforcement officers miss anywhere between 70 – 80% of their shots fired during a shooting incident. Hard to win a firefight if you only have seven to eight rounds in a magazine no?

From an Executive Summary of Justification for Law Enforcement Partners issued by the FBI, they’ve also debunked the myth of “handgun stopping power” because the single most important factor in wounding a human target is to have bullet penetration of anywhere between 12” – 18” per the Bureau’s standards. The .45 ACP certainly meets that standard, but so does 9mm with a variety of different weight projectiles.

Studies of “stopping power” are moot because it turns out that no one has actually ever been able to scientifically define how much kinetic energy is required to effectively stop a determined and violent combatant.

Tell that to a WWII Marine who fought in the Pacific. M1 rounds didn't always stop the enemy, but the 1911 flattened them.

One Gfather and another guncle served in the Pacific, neither one as I recall carried a sidearm, not all had mos's that had the need to be issued one. Neither one talked about it much.
Mortarmen, anti-tank, machinegunners, officers and a few other Marines are issued sidearms.
Lots of lore out there, kinna like Matty Mattel built M16's.

Not talking stopping power yadda yadda, I am talking let someone point a .45 ACP at you and. Pull the trigger and then you simply move out of the way as you stated in your post. Give it a try. We will wait for you to post your test results.

All I know is, there are an awful lot of people that have been shot with a 9mm that are still mad about it.
