    I've never seen such a study except the one by the US Army that went around. That was rifles and machine guns though.
    Here you go, straight from J. Edgar's boys to you: https://leb.fbi.gov/file-repository/...tober-1969.pdf

    This is a PDF of the whole LE bulletin, so when the article is continued you will have to scroll to page 20 to finish.

    Old stuff, but still relevant, the FBI used to send out reprints of the article in a brochure form, we discussed and demoed in our firearms instructor course for years. Ultimately, time constraints and additional material relegated the handout to a mention and admonition to 'study this handout.'

    Man still has not invented a death ray. So use what caliber you want and shoot them till they drop.
    Truer words were never spoken. And I still haven't read any material written by or spoken with an emergency room doctor or scientist who works in a laboratory who was A) present when a shooting occurred or B) spoke with those who were directly involved in the gunfight to ask how quickly the threat was reduced to a non-threat.

    Interesting to read the FBI bulletin from 1969. Also like Hoover’s recap of youts and gangs. Just hard reading it and not picturing J. Edgar typing it up wearing nylons and a garter belt.
    It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry in an address at St. John’s Church, Richmond, Virginia, on March 23, 1775.

    Never mind on the rest. Apologies, was rambling a bit.
