| Immunes | Ever shot someone with a 9mm?? If the distance is great than 10meters(30ft) it takes more than one shot to knock someone down. If Afghanistan I had to fire 3 shots at one guy, and I still didn't see him fall.(and I know you will be like "you missed him") I'm a pistol expert, I didn't miss. I hit him 3 times in the chest, but he didn't fall. 9mm is weak, but great for amount of ammo in the clip.

I've told this story before on here, but a police officer from back home had to use deadly force on one subject who also took three rounds (9mm) to the chest and kept charging until the officer put one in his forehead, and this was at a range of a few meters. Admittedly this guy was a huge man, but it sure doesn't build a lot of confidence in your equipment doing its job in a pinch.

  I noticed the Beretta was a little weak...sometimes didn't knock down the targets even when we could clearly see that the bullet had hit. Didn't know it was due to the size of the bullet though. Thanks, Lance Corporal.

| Buttercup | It's not match grade or anything, but when it has been kept up like any weapon should be, it's nothing to sneeze at. |
