That's not exactly true, and that's what we are trying to explain. Some weapons do not do that kind of massive damage, on average, and some do.

If you get hit in the head with a mauser or garand, yes your going to die.

We are talking about wounds which do not hit VITAL organs, and what happens next. Some rounds will not cause catastrophic damage, and some will, depending on the weapon it was fired from, and what type of ammunition it is.

That is what we are talking about. A kill shot is a kill shot, you are right. But one which does not instantly kill (the vast majority) is what we are discussing.

Sorry for the mixup.

If you're not talking about vital organs, refer to one of my previous posts on the topic. I knew all of that already.

Yes, some bullet types will shred more than others...
FMJ anyone ?


I understand exactly what you're saying, but the fact is, you could get hit by ANY caliber bullet and you'd still be "disabled" : meaning you'd have a hard time concentrating and continuing the fight adequatly.

I can also understand how a "shredder" type of round could do more damage to the unlucky fellow getting hit..

And ballistic, I wasn't pissed, just in awe
It's all good.

What I meant by FMJ is that it doesn't shred.. just goes right through. Other types of rounds do massive damage in the sense they turn on themselves and assume a position of pointy and fragmented pieces, churning everything...

You still don't get it do you ? Whether I shoot you with a Garand or a Mauser, you'll still fall flat on your fucking face. Geez people wake the hell up !

I will digress now : it isn't my responsibility to educate you, but damnit, at LEAST try to understand that even though the stopping power of the mauser was superior (not by that much, mind you) to the garands, it wouldn't matter much : a bullet hitting your sorry ass would disable you coming from either weapon. lol.

I know most of you cower behind neat and fuzzy definitions and believe everything you read down to the last ink drop, so I will shut up and save my saliva.

I reckon it would be cool as the Mauser has more "stopping power" to be able to kill a sniper and attatch a scope to it...Correct me if im wrong, but the Garand couldnt have a scope because the ejecting "end-block" would hit it ?

Hey Solidus, man, settle down hehehe I know a round to the head or chest will leave a gaping wound causing death instantly
I was just stating what I know to be fact.
Sorry to have pissed you off.

Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to War and my fingers to fight.
