[QUOTE="Packrat 6, post: 1038354, member: 80288"] In the right circumstances/conditions/part of the arm, etc. it will knock a person down, but then so would a .22. I've personally hit people with 3-5 rounds center of mass with a .223 from less than 25' and had them keep coming and then have also knocked one over with a 9 mm just clipping them about 1" into their left shoulder in the rear 1/4 quadrant with a instinct shot at the right angle and them being mid stride or otherwise just off balance enough. The way he went down, looked like he had been hit with a .50. I thought someone else had gotten him at the same time. Different circumstances, different people, different reactions. You just can't make generalizations based on just a caliber. 9 mm came from a Marakov.?? pistol I had taken from a dead NVA or Chicom officer since I wasn't authorized a sidearm. Was in the process of trying to clear a jam in my *** M-16 when he showed up, Ended up making him a prisoner, but I was very surprised how slight the wound was, and the medics still almost lost him to shock. Sure wish I could have kept the pistol as a war souvenir instead of selling it, but was also running out of ammo for it and US didn't stock 9 mm back then, at least where I was. The above, among other similar reasons, is the main reason the smallest rounds I shoot today are .308 and .45. BTW Your 30-06 IS obsolete!....:D Packrat "You can't take life seriously, you're not going to survive it anyway! Eat, Drink and make Mary,...... or Sue,.......... or Barbara......or.....?
