nah its not movies for me at all. just questioning. It is a glock though...knowing that im surprised they died. suppose i'm just more used to seeing 5.56 and larger rounds being shot
And my blood comment was directed towards more to droplets than anything. Im really interested in the autopsys and what actually caused the deaths whether it be a vital or blood loss etc

There's a lot of different caliber glocks, ranging from 380 to 45. My guess it was a Glock 19, 9mm. Being shot with that caliber can have the exact effect I was talking about.. being in shock right away and not noticing, but within a few seconds, you will feel it and go down.

Yea, Video at least is a prime reason why not to use a glock for self defense

The best gun for self defense is the one you are proficient with

i remember a story about a woman whose house was broken into. She drew a revolver, low caliber, connected 6 shots around center mass. Robber then walked out of the house and drove ~5 miles before dying.
Proficiency wont always save you.

Heres the story.
My memory was a little off on the distance and shot placement, been quite a while.
but 5 shots to the face and neck with a .38 , and he was able to drive off.
Id expect that from a bear, minus the driving. But never a man, heh

"center mass"

I bet you she connected maybe 1 or 2 in the torso, the rest went into extremities.

Like i said before, the best gun for self defense is the one you shoot well. People always mock the .380, but I don't see anyone volunteering to get shot with one.

Corrected myself in recent comment. 5 shots to the face and neck with .380
Memory on the event had faded over time

What does that have to do with Glock? As far as stopping power, Glock is no different than any other handgun using the same caliber...
