Shooting stats

Some numbers from Boston.

Wonder what the national statistics would look like. Only one fatality from a caliber used in those evil black guns.

That is several years old and some do not have enough data to mean anything such as the AK round and 10mm.

 

You can see the rounds becoming more effective as they get larger.  9mm and .40 look pretty close to each other , 357 mag and 45acp look like a step up from them.

 

Most of the common rounds look worth considering but they do not look like they are all the same.

 

Looks like ....shoot them in the head/neck....more than once...with a large caliber....for best results.

... and it was probably more of a brown gun.  Excuse me, I don't mean to sound racist.

I would appreciate seeing national numbers broken down with this detail, as well.

Very interesting!

Looks like if you using a small caliber, then .32 is the way to go. For larger calibers, then it's .357 mag and .45acp.

Also looking at this, maybe .32 should be moved into the medium catagory. Seems to have a better track record, so to speak, than .380 and .38spl.
