"One finds it difficult to imagine a LE officer delivering a solid torso hit with the much disparaged 158 gr LRN from a 4-inch barrel to a bad guy, only to have him continue fighting. Please provide examples."

So what do you want me to post?...the debunked Sanow and Marshall results. Nope...ain't gonna do it.

There are plenty of reports of MULTIPLE solid torso hits with a RIFLE not getting the job done. No need to imagine it...it's a fact. If you don't believe it, I suggest you pick up a copy of Blackhawk Down.
