[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 640196, member: 9"] IMO a lot depends on how good a shot you are and the size of the "game". For example, a .22 projectile dead center on the brain stem or in the heart should drop something promptly. On the other hand, if you can't hit a "quarter" at 10 yards with any type of gun, then I'd go with a larger calibre in a hollow point that will expand on impact. [On a sidebar: I have heard that hired assassins (or mafia hit men) may use a .22 handgun with a silencer at point blank range to the head. On the other hand, I have heard that snipers tend to use .308 ammo for the guaranteed long range "one shot, one kill".] If you're trying to "stop" something from moving toward you (so you can get a 2nd shot...lol), then I'd go with the biggest calibre you can handle without destroying your shoulder... A good expanding projectile in the .25" to .45" diameter can do a lot of damage, expecially if the bullet mushrooms and wanders around after it hits tissue. Guess my philosophy is to "stop the threat" (so it won't keep coming at you and eat you (or) later sue you for whatever reason). Some morals to the above scenarios: [list]1. Don't take a .22 to a .45 gun fight. 2. Never take a knife to a gun fight. 3. You've got one chance for a shot: Choose your weapon! 4. You're not the best shot in the world...but...the aggressor is closing fast...[/list] Y'all be careful out there! Y'all hear! [/QUOTE]
