Folks have seen too many Dirty Harry and Bruce Willis movies.............

one round from a .44 mag will throw you back against the diner wall......

one lone guy with a 9mm Beretta........ shoot and kills 8 or 10 ex-special forces bad guys all shooting at him with full auto rifles..they drop like rocks in a pond..... in the end all he has to do is blow the smoke from his muzzle.....Yippee ki yay mother..................

With a .223 it's not......................

one shot ...stop ....... evaluate target...... still up and moving......shoot again .........evaluate......... nope still moving.........shoot again..............................

it's more like...... bang-bang-bang... bang bang

yep took me 5 shots to drop that ___________; need to get me a bigger gun!
