How effective is your favorite caliber?

[DarthZed]

Very interesting article that compares the effectiveness of various calibers. The author compiled quite a bit of data (though to be fair, there is no way to ascertain how accurate his data is; we'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that is was impartially gathered and correlated), and reaches some interesting conclusions.

The uniformity of the percentage of "one stop hits" between calibers was not something I would have expected.

Interesting read. Long and short, train to be able to put two well placed shots into your attacker... Then they will stop attacking,

Isn't that the way my dad taught me... Guess he was right after all!
