    backwards on the 9mm

    the 9mm fmj has good penetration but only so so stopping power the .45 fmj is a much better manstopper but does have less peneration. i doubt very much if heavy coats would stop either.

    Even if it didn't penetrate, it would put them on the ground and probably break many ribs. There would also be serious bruising.

    y? in my opinion its a piece of junk, ok it was cheap and easy to produce but it wasnt realiable, i would rather have a Lanchester 9mm (the navys sten) it was much more reliable and comfortable to use because of the wooden furniture and more accurate plus you had a huge 50 round magazine
