"Stopping
Power"
One-Shot
Drops: Surviving the Myth
• Determined
individuals can sustain many
gunshot wounds in areas that produce great
pain and
continue to fight a long time,
even without the aid of drugs or
alcohol.
• Shot placement
is everything in a gunfight
and always
the key to stopping a threat
effectively.

your hesitation after a 'double tap' get you killed? (copy at ShataDefense)
| ...“Physiologically,
a determined adversary can be stopped reliably and immediately only by a
shot that disrupts the brain or upper spinal cord. Failing to hit the
center nervous system, massive bleeding from holes in the heart, or
major blood vessels of the torso causing circulatory collapse is the
only way to force incapacitation upon an adversary, and this takes time.
For example, there is sufficient oxygen within the brain to support
full, voluntary action for 10 to 15 seconds after the heart has been
destroyed.” See U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of
Investigation, Firearms Training Unit, FBI Academy, Handgun
