So he is going to put 2 rounds through the heart and one in the head of every person who watched the video, yep, he's a badass.

I hate it when people say that 9mm is for little girls. If the most deadly soldiers in the world use it to take out terrorists, I think it's good enough to take out a thug breaking into your house.

These aren't your grandpa's 9mm rounds. This day and age with the advancements in technology of ammunition manufacturing, a quality 9mm, .40, or .45 JHP round are all fine and will get the job done. With the testing they do and the data in the lab and the street to back it up, any quality JHP round will be just fine no matter what the caliber. That's why shot placement is #1. You choose the caliber you shoot best with paired with quality self defense ammo. Anyone with a brain knows this.

@donphonica I've only shot at paper targets. I wonder how effective I could be in an emergency. If someone broke into my house It would probably take at least a minute to get my gun ready. I have to unlock my gun, load rounds into the magazine, maybe load an extra mag, and then load the gun and cock it. I figure even though I'm no Navy SEAL I still am a better shot than whatever thug broke in my house, they are probably not trained at all. Having a gun is much better than a bat.

@mgibbs88 That's why you train to operate your firearm under duress. Any firearm owner who claims to own their gun for defensive purposes is a completely delusional clown if they have not trained consistently to use it under extreme duress.

Those reflexes can be learned, just like building muscles. I've worked at it long enough that if some crazy crack heads broke into my house right now with guns, I'd be able to remain collected and calm enough to put them down with my 9MM to critical mass.

@connersaurus42 Exactly!!

[Covermeporkins11]

Shot placement is more important than "stopping power". A .380 at center mass is better than a .357 at the wall behind him.

@connersaurus42 haha amen to that brother!

@88RBack this guy in the video rules, i laugh so hard when i watch this.

With the amount of training we did and during my deployment we did what we was trained to do. We train very hard. We have to be perfect or I wouldn't be able to write on here right now. Thanks to the proper training. We did what these guys do in this video

@mgibbs88 same

Under ideal conditions you may be able to fire a controlled pair at the heart and a shot to the head, but you can not expect to be able to consistantly do that in the heat of battle. In my opinion that is where stopping power is important.
