Are you attempting to stumble upon a POINT, as you flop and flail?Yes 3 with at least 90rds among them just in their guns.
The suspected shooters in the San Bernardino massacre -- which left 14 dead -- had more than 1,600 rounds of ammunition with them
San Bernardino Shooters Had More Than 6,000 Rounds of Ammo, Police Say
And how is your 50 round magazine going to help you Rambo?
The main thing you want to do if attacked by someone who is armed, whether knife of gun, is to supress their aggression.
You want them to flinch and take cover.
You do that by firing lots of shots.
If you are too humanitarian, you can fire into the ground if you want.
But your life could easily depend up being able to fire enough shots in order to intimidate them.
The goal is not to conserve your shots so that they get close enough for you to be able to kill them.
You would rather they stay so far away that you do not have to kill them.
Firepower is the only way to do that.
If one shot does not stop the aggressor from aggressing 30 misses won't either and you are now in a knife fight with an empty gun used as a club. If he is aggressing towards me with that same knife, he sees me taking the weapon out. He gets one verbal warning if I have time. If he doesn't stop, he gets a double tap in the chest. I am 100% sure he's stopped at that point. If I don't have time for the verbal warning, he still gets the double tap in the chest. If he's wearing body armor, he gets the old triple tap. And he will either get double tapped or tripple tapped until he is down on the ground. But I won't keep shooting until the gun is empty by continuous fire. Depending on the situation, I doubt I will need more than 4 or 6 rounds. It's called training. Something that those that want 30 rounds really don't have. If I need 30 rounds, I had damned well be wearing a Pickle Suit, be on a mission and be in the Military.
You mean like the woman in South Carolina, who put five .38 Specials into a home invader? They caught the guy later, after he DROVE to a hospital! Yes, five rounds in him, and he WALKED out, DROVE himself away, and WALKED into a hospital! Someone on PCP might not notice a dozen rounds unless one hits him in the brain!
She had a 6 shot revolver. You dance with the fat lady that you brung to the dance. She did hit him 5 times which is pretty damned good and did slow him down a lot. Since her revolver only held 6, it really wouldn't have mattered if the law had read that a mag could only hold 10 or 15 or back the truck up rounds. Why bring her up in the first place? Now, if she had my favorites, she would have hit him 2 double taps for 4 rounds and he would have either gone down or left the area leaving her 2 still in the pipe. But let's face it, a 38 Special spends way too much energy on the backdrop and not enough energy on the perp. But what the 38 special revolver has going for it, it shoots each and every time you pull the trigger so it's not all bad. And it's what she had. And it was enough, obviously. But she wasn't trained and emptied her gun out just like most cops instead of double tap, assess, double tap, assess........
There was a reason the Military dumped the 38 revolver for the 45 Colt ACP and the PCP type persons they were going against in the PI is the reason. Again, this has nothing to do with capacity. It has to do with knockdown power.
