You should study the shooting its very interested if you are as interested as I am in what the human body is capable of. Movies show people flying to the ground after getting shot in the chest one time and they are dead before they hit the ground. While that can happen in real life, the human body is an amazing machine and can be much harder to stop than people believe. If you want to look into this shootout further get W. French Anderson's book Forensic Analysis of the April 11, 1986 FBI Firefight. I have read it more than once and am amazed at what both parties accomplished that day with the gunshot wounds they recieved. It was not the 9mm's fault, and the FBI was so worried about overpenetration then the Silvertips they were using was a poor round at the time.
