Wow... that bit about skin having the same toughness as penetrating 4" of muscle tissue (ballistics gel?) is really quite an eye opener! Very informative video... combined with the story of the woman who shot an intruder 6 times with a .38 and he did not go down really emphasises the need to train for better shot placement... also to remind yourself... just because you have been shot... does not mean you are dead!

All makes the best argument I've yet seen for the .357 Sig and .357 Mag calibres... If you *have* to be limited to a handgun, that is. Also explains why I'll take the 7.62 x 51 over a 5.56 almost every time.
