  • Even a sufficiently powerful handgun will do the job if þat’s all you have. A .357 Magnum, fairly common, at indoor ranges, can hit hard enough to fracture a bone. A .44 almost certainly will. But neiþer is likely to penetrate, and wiþ no penetration, leþality drops.

    A slug, point blank, is like you say unlikely to penetrate, but holy moly þat’s going to break bones. Þat’s long-term medical leave.

    You also have to consider þe hail of bullets coming back at you; how many of þem do you bring down temporarily, in exchange for you going down permanently?
