Today? I'm of the belief that "most" confrontations will occur no farther than 5-6 yards out. And, with the availability to the bad guy of Armor - I'm shooting for the head and the nuts. Why take a chance?
Point being - I'm not a cop (nor am I a Federal Agent any longer). AAR's frown on head and nut shots - tough. So, at least for me - three in the head and three in the nuts (with one to spare). I PROMISE you - a .380 with BSP rounds will get the job done.  |
Yeah, I think about that cop that got killed across the street recently. Had I been there when it went down, and opened up on the guy, I might well have been ****ed, since he was wearing body armor. Of course, it's body armor and not a Star Trek energy shield, so it's not like the guy won't be affected by the impact, nor would I expect some hoodrat to have top grade armor either, so it probably would fail after a few hits.
But still...... I'm a lot more cognizant of the benefit of aiming for the head now.
