I'd say being able to hit an intended target and not just praying and spraying is part of firearm safety. Errant bullets can cause a lot of damage. It's been over a decade since I've owned a firearm but it wasn't for nothing that one of the four fundamental rules of firearm safety I was taught is "be sure of your target and what's behind it".
5.7 is known to be pretty terrible for its "stopping power" for lack of a better term. Its a handgun round design to penetrate body armor. In doing so it had to make sacrifices in bullet dimensions and weight. It performs similarly to a .22 magnum round which is a frankly wimpy cartridge meant for small game like rabbits.
So 20 rounds to stop a human isn't stretching the truth too much.
I did not know that (I probably should have figured it out though based on the physics and the tiny little bullet) when I professed my love for the PS90...I just thought it was fun at a range... And now I learned I might as well been shooting a money gun.
Me, an old west cowboy exiting a salon: "Would be a shame if I had to draw this here hip-iron."
Varment Buscadero Up to No Good pointing his own pistol right at my chest: "Draw, you yellow-bellied sarsaparilla swillin' son of a gun. Imma gonna plug you good and proper, 'for ah take that there horse."
As the fastest gun in the west, I smoothly withdraw my six-shooter and plant all six rounds perfectly through his chest before he can even twitch his trigger finger.
"Gosh darnit. Them ammo rounds worth more than mah old sway-back, Trixie. Gonna have to visit the old general store and spend mah last plugged nickel, fore ah mosey on outta this here pig swallow."
5.7 has gone down in price with more guns coming out it in. Buying 20 rounds of defensive ammo in 5.7 in 2019 would have easily been much more than $30. Still less than $700 but probably more than just handing over all your cash
I want to say 5.7 went up 2019/2020 something crazy, there are old forum threads referencing pricing on Ammoseek from around that time, about $1.8 per round is the most expensive I could find.
But yeah, I didn't even check the date on the original post.
Haha I love the idea of a PS90 ..it's fun when used safely at a range not as a cosplay element for the gravy seals. But the cost of the ammo has kept me from impulse buying one...I don't any any cool weapons currently but I also don't need them.
While I don't condone deadly force a mugger asking for your wallet first is probably not going to stop there and so it may be better not to cooperate at all. Magdumping seems a little harsh though.
Common sense. Someone who threatens you and tries to mug you probably isn't keen on not breaking the law. People who are not keen on not breaking the law might just be liars. I'm not saying all muggers will cut your throat after taking your wallet, phone and jewlery, but a good amount of them might just.
Really? I don't live in a country with guns. If I did, I would expect to get shot at if I attempted robbery. How could you possibly be surprised if you got shot?
