    Where's a good old, 'Starship Troopers' pocket nuke thing when ya need one?

    As for that guys who took the .44 and still attacked? If you've got even basic adreniline running in your veins, you often won't notice an injure until well after the fact. i was out paintballing a few weeks ago, and didn't even really notice some of the hits I took. Hurt each time but none as much as the first few (exception being the three shots to the head, those really hurt......took two right after each other and had to go sit down for a while)

    One WW1 pilot lost a chunk of heel to german bullets and only felt the tug.

    Interesting about stopage power.


    And about penetration power , USSR made Tokarev (popular TT) 7.62x25 got extremly high peetration power, and it wa only handgun who made penetration on US army helmet on bouth side (no otther pistol made penetration on one side,including the ower rated 357).

    I'd bet that FN Five-seveN could do that. And possible H&K UCK too.

    Isn't the P-90 designed as an automatic anti-personel sidearm? Just read somethign about it not that long ago.

    As I mentioned the last time this came up though, this was hardly a scientific test, all the rounds were fired at the same helmet, the 7.62x25 was the last one of a batch of shots fired at the helmet so the distinct possibility that the helmet was damaged or weakened by the earlier shots cannot be discounted.

    PDW, that the term I was thinking of, thanks Notmi
    Unless somebody goofed with the pictures, it looks like an Uzi I think.

    edit: never mind, I found pics.....AKA the RPC-90 from Goldeneye N64. Love it.
