9mm: Underpowered and Overrated

This is what happens when we dig through the company archives and start playing random unlabeled VHS tapes. According to Manny Mansfield, not much has changed in the great caliber debates over the last 40 years.

  1. That was funny. I loved the 9’s bouncing off the can. My experience with reality was a 22lr hitting my lower left leg. It didn’t bounce off. It did fuck up the rest of that day and many of the following days. I highly recommend not getting shot by anything

    1. The trick is to start with .22 shorts to build up an immunity.

  4. I would just like to point out that the video is referencing ball ammo, not hollow points.

  5. One day at the gunshop some ruff n' tuff creampuff came in laughing at the latest 9mm and the gun shop guy said...let me shoot you in the neck with a few 9mm rounds and we'll see if you last it.
    We all laughed and the gear jockey walked out.

    1. Had a similar experience when I got a .410 shotgun. Someone commented that it was a wimpy gun, and the counter guy asked if he would like to get shot with one. "No, of course not." "Well, then..."

  6. It's big enough for deer and some small hogs, also good enough for two legged vermin... works for me. :)

    Although it didn't seem to do much to the really big hogs but hopefully I poked a few holes in the right places that they died later on.

    1. Yet the same people that tout the 9mm as the bestest will snear at the .30cal Carbine.

      Yet ask the most decorated US soldier in WWII what gun he favored, and it was a .30cal Carbine. And lots of deer have been taken by the M1 Carbine.

      But .30cal Carbine is 'underpowered'...

  9. A friend of mine once, when he was a kid, accidentally shot himself through the upper thigh with a genuine Colt Woodsman .22 while driving a "3 on the tree" 68 Ford pickup and trying to chamber a round to shoot a squirrel all at the same time. He said "do not let anyone tell you that you can't use a .22 for self defense". He said he was completely immobilized and the pain was incredible. The bullet went all the way through and smashed against the door. he still has it. I give him a hard time about being the only person I know who lost a gunfight with a squirrel.

  10. I know two people who were shot with a .22. One in the upper arm, who I worked with for years. He said it was not that bad, his buddy and him were hunting, and the buddy accidentally shot him. The other guy was an acquaintance from my small town, a couple of years younger than I in school. He was shot in the stomach with a .22, a few years after we both got out of school. He ended up dying. It took him a couple of days, but dead is dead.

  11. Lots of deer have been "taken" with a .22 hollow point, but for protecting my wife and home, I prefer my Glock 21, .45acp! ge

  12. I was expecting yet another ignorant clown weighing in on the religious war between .45 and 9 mm.

    I got pretty good humor.

  13. I loved the movie "Assassination Tango"....seems the weapon of choice was a .22 discharged into the lower rear of the skull at a slight upward angle....it scrambled the victim's brains and the head acted as a silencer....the perpetrator then was able to escape as the innocent bystanders tried to treat the poor guy who evidently just suffered a heart attack...
