I have been searching the internet all over for the answer to this, I come up with misleading or insufficient information each time.
I was hoping someone with a hunting background could help or someone could provide a link if they know of this information anywhere.
I read that for self defense the absolute minimum should be 6 inches of penetration, and at a preferred minimum 6-12 inches, but no more than 18 inches.
I have no idea if this is true or not and sounds more like a matter of personal opinion to me and depends on the person commiting the act against you.
I carry a .22 a1 smith and wesson wherever I go. I have heard it could bring down a coyote from 65 yards with one well placed shot.
I carry one extra magazine the gun itself is 10+1 but I dont keep on in the chamber, so I have a total of 20 rounds.
I wouldnt plan on using more than 10, but you never know.
I realize it comes down to shot placement, but I am wondering if you put a couple rounds of a .22 into a guys chest if he is gonna fall, I assume most would for at least a brief moment, and I wouldnt let them get up if they tried.
Just looking for some answers, I saw the guy at the range yesterday (warden) carrying a .22. Probably depends on your ammo too.
I do not have a hunting background nor have I shot anyone (thankfully).
So anyone who can help or comment would be a big help.
Thanks,
Ryan
