And ignoring real information. Laugh off your pawnage...
Yeah I know some say Wild Bill could not shoot for shit, but he got by alright.
I trained for fifteen years consistently in CAS style because I had a shooting range in the front yard and I enjoyed the old guns. You semi-auto dudes can laugh all you want, but I'll stick with a .44mag--even have that caliber in a derringer for real close gut shooting hahahaha. It's a lot of fun...
Anyway, think of it like this: the chest is wider so you have a better chance of hitting the spine with a gut shot, and if you shatter a hip you wont be hit with a rock anytime soon. And the victim can recover, unless you just enjoy killing kids like the sniper on the bike from the safety of the bridge?
