I once had a co-worker scoff at my idea of using a Colt 1911 Government .45 when he and the rest of the crew were using S&W .38's. I asked him why, and he said, "What if I get pinned down, and need more ammo? We should all be able to throw ammo to each other." I laughed and told him that if he expended his 18 rouinds, and didn't end the fight, I sure as hell wasn't going to throw him my ammo, even if it would fire in his gun, and that if he planned on missing that much, he should carry more ammo, or be prepared for me to end the fight while he stayed behind cover. He never bothered me again about the matter.
