“One Shot Stop” Handgun statistics, and why they’re a load of crap

It has been found that a person shot with a .22LR tends to avoid a repeat of the experience. Now, I love my .45ACP, but I’ll shoot what is close at hand. The French experimented by shooting live goats back in the 80’s and if you can find that data, you’ll see that not everything that is supposed to be a ‘One Shot Stop’ really is. I think a GE minigun probably provides a ‘one burst stop’ every time, but other than that “Bigger is better, but placement is everything!”
