The Reality of Handgun versus Human When bullets from your handgun strike an attacker, there won't be "splashes of blood" or even Technicolor geysers like you see in movies. 7 www.BulletproofDefenseDVD.com Violent explosions of blood like that don't happen unless you're lucky enough to get off a head shot or, in some cases, nick the carotid artery. Shooting a human being isn't like shooting a high-contrast paper target or a jug full of water. You won't know immediately if you have hit your attacker. In fact, your ATTACKER might not know immediately that he's been hit. In many cases, people who experience the fight-or-flight adrenaline surge of a real life-and-death battle don't know they've sustained serious injury until after the fact. Stopping Power versus Killing Power The most important distinction you must grasp when it comes to handgun stopping power is the difference between KILLING and STOPPING an attacker. Any gun, even a handgun of the smallest caliber possible, can kill a human being if the shot placement is just right... or if the attacker takes a bullet and then, slowly and over time, bleeds to death. You don't always have the luxury of waiting for an opponent to bleed to death slowly, however. The purpose of carrying and using a handgun for self-defense is to kill the other guy before he kills you. Well, no... that's not true.
