yes, putting more shots into an attacker increases the chances of stopping them, but i figure that if i'm within 3 yards of my attacker and i have enough time to get 3 shots off with a .380, i'll have time to get off 3 shots with my .45

consider this though...

there's a guy in prison for life in WV because a guy tried to rob him (maybe he broke into his house, i don't remember) and they said he shot him too many times

i don't know what type of gun he was using, if it was a shotgun and he shot him 5 times, it was probably excessive

i don't know if he actually stopped shooting the guy when the guy stopped trying to attack and the authorities just thought it was excessive

but it goes to show you that putting multiple rounds into an attacker can lead to more trouble even after the attacker has been successfully stopped
