I was trained decently with the Navy and also grew up scrapping and learned some fighting techniques from my Dad(former Marine Vietnam).

Im a damn good shot with my 1911 at 127 yards and can hit steal around 80% of the time(STEAL DOESNT SHOOT BACK). From 9mm, 40S&W, 45 ACP, 357 mag, 44 mag and 41 mag that I have shot at my steel target at 127 yards I have found quiet a few rounds that didnt impact the target that were way low still intact well before the target. So still had plenty of velocity yet no real damage to the bullet itself.

Mcantar, based on your experience you stated, you will refute this possibly(sorry late to reading this thread), if you engaged from the shop across the street the POS in Nevada at 65 yards roughly you will basically hurt the shooter significantly. IF, big if IMHO, you hit him in a decent enough location to cause him to drop his weapon etc etc. Logic and even veteran folks who have faced real combat in military,LEO or civilian life (combat in this instance is actual events of being fired upon and returning fire in any capacity and you lived) with some of the best of training will not hit a vital enough area to drastically turn the tides of the fight. The gunman will most likely, again IMHO, turn towards the threat and engage you and like others have said...a car is a POS for cover from rounds, especially 7.62x39.

I havnt read the entire account of that day and how the fucker moved, but my guess is he wasnt a terrible shot at the worst. Im gonna call BS about the 100m, yes One Hundred meters, hitting MOH or whatever you want to call it. How fast is a 45 round going at 100m? Its only getting slower every foot it travels from the barrel right??? If its a 9mm round, then well good luck with that. I have first hand experience with CQB with a POS M9 and the effects it DOESNT perform oon targets. As per you, its still 100m, right? Or will this change magically to 100 ft.

In all honestly, Im not buying your response to my question. You sound like all the damn roughnecks I encounter who want to fight a guy who hasnt roughnecked(I have worked as hard in other jobs for longer periods of time then most out here already), making more $$ then them and still working in the oilfield in what the roughnecks consider a prestigious position.

Not trying to be a dick, but I kinda tell it like it is. At least my perspective.
