Your friend places too much faith in the .45ACP round, I feel. Somewhere out there is a tale about a police officer who was shot at close quarters with a .357Mag while not wearing body armour. The bullet hit and expanded on the surface of his sternum. He survived. One of ours over here was hit in the chest at close quarters with a .44Mag by another officer giving a firearms safety demonstration, who'd assumed it wasn't loaded (see above and count the rules he broke) and survived. There is also a fairly recent news item about a child who was one-shot-killed with an air pistol.SangRahl said:
You hit them once each as fast as you can to stop them and if you're lucky you'll kill one. Then you hit them a second time each to kill them and if you're lucky you'll knock one down.

That's not true in the once-famous three-way case, in which it's actually better not to knock either of the other two down with your first shot so that they each have a 50% chance of shooting at the other, rather than at you.WorldCritic said:
In a two-way situation, though, you should always be a step ahead. If he's got a gun, you've got a gun out. If his is loaded, yours has a round chambered. If he chambers a round, you've aimed. If he aims, you've fired.

That's wrong too if it's a typical modern rifle round. A 5.56mm going 2m over your head from a rifle 200m away produces a very loud whip-crack sound, followed 0.28 seconds later by the distant and much quieter bang of the gunshot. If you want to know where the shooter is, you have to listen for that bang and time the delay while you're busy going "Oh **** me incoming fire," diving to the ground and looking around for cover. If you know anyone who's had enough practice to do that accurately and reliably, never wake him up from in front.DethVanXan said:
That reminds me of some more advice: if you see a 19-yr-old in full issued combat gear from helmet to boots, including face-paint, dodging from cover to cover up an alleyway with an AK47 and a pack of lager, looking stressed and nervous, do not attempt to mug him. No, wait. If you're inclined to try it, go right ahead. The species does not need anyone that stupid in its gene pool.
Another:
Once is misfortune. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.
Exclusion clause:
Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by incompetence.
