First, a man who's so fat that six shots won't stop him? Yes, I could see a person being so fat that a bullet will not penetrate to a vital organ. However, if the initial controlled pair didn't stop him, why on God's green earth would you continue to shoot to the same place? At that point it's time to take that head shot. No one is so fat that a properly placed head shot won't stop them. Yes, I know it's not easy to hit the head.

Secondly, if a person is this fat, how hard can it be to get away? I mean, I'm no runner, but I'm pretty sure I can out walk a guy this large.

No, I think that a revolver is a reasonable defensive tool. There has to be more to this story.
