I just noted the FBI's circular waste of money chasing a magic bullet.<br /><br />Of course former FBI director Louis Freeh also thought his men were using 9mm revolvers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-75622168390320448172015-07-17T09:34:07.703-05:002015-07-17T09:34:07.703-05:00You are correct.

The FBI testing used showed it currently achieved comparable results. If one reads the FBI statement, it states the current projectiles achieve comparable results as premium projectiles of both the .40sw and .45acp. The fact is, a good lobbyist just made a lot of money and told the FBI to state that commonly accepted physics regarding handgun ammunition performance are "simply a myth" and previous studies conducted by them and others are irrelevant.<br /><br />The FBI states that 20% of shots, overall, by LEOs hit their target. They surmise that the less recoil 9mm will provide for more accurate follow up shots, since a single shot is not likely to incapacitate a determined subject. It's just dumb. They are not accurate to begin with. And this accuracy has nothing to do with the guns, bullets or ballistics. It's just the simple human part of it. At the point of having to pull a trigger on another human being, the human body is fighting against itself, as as far as accuracy is concerned.<br /><br />Lastly, if the ballistics of the 9mm Luger have improved to the point that it has reached it's max physical ability, the same concepts could be adapted to other calibers, which would effectively make them a better choice. <br /><br />I am not a caliber snob and do not believe there is a one size fits all. There are tools for different situations and selecting a single tool to fit a large mass is difficult at best. My issue is the justification of the change. Government more and more just snubs it's face at the individual as just ignorant imbeciles. A little obfuscation and truth bending and everything is OK.

The 9mm rounds are different than thirty years ago. Tests show they achieve better results than the .40's.
