A 1903 can fire eight .32 hollow points in just a few seconds. wouldn't want to try to stop one bullet, never mind eight; and with very little recoil, shots have a high likelihood of being on target. Reliability and accuracy counts. And .32 caliber was good enough for most police officers until the 1940s.Quote:

Let's not forget the number of people who have been killed by .22RF, and not just LR. Shorts will do the job too. I'm not saying I would want to use one to protect myself against a maniac high on crack and meth, but a shot in the right place from just about anything can put someone down.

A couple of things - firstly, it's not "new" - text message jargon, netspeak and its descendants have been around for more than 20 years. Secondly, WTF does not mean "Why The Face?"; it means "What the F----?"Quote:
