-> Shrugged it off and continued to return fire.  Of course, these are
-> just anecdotal.  Just as anecdotal as the people taking .45acp chest
-> hits and keeping on going.  They may have really happened, but such
-> isolated incidents may not be statistically valid.
Thats the reason people like Sanow & Marshall insist on including
autopsy reports in their data files.  You just can't depend on "war
stories" alone.
-> With a JHP bullet, they (any caliber) can "bite" enough into the
-> skullbone to penetrate a little, but get stuck if they hit a thick
-> part of the bone. Most bone is inelastic, so it's possible for the
-> bone to just keep the bullet "pinched" in place.
I guess the thing that bothers me is this:  in the scenario you just
described, you just had a total energy transfer of 400 ft lbs or so.
About like being hit in the head with a hammer, only more so.  I just
have a hard time believing someone could still return fire after that.
Maybe it's just that I doubt that **I** could return fire after
something like that. 
-> The other case was where a man died from 4 hits of a .25 acp to both
-> front chest and his back. Again the media was not clear on how many
-> shots were where.
->
-> And yet plenty of Emergency Rooms are able to save people with
-> multiple .380acp and 9mm wounds.
Proving once again how vital shot placement really is.
