RE: knockdown power... fact or myth?
My case study #1. I talked to someone that could tell me what happened.
While entering a window to retrieve his lawful custody child my 200lb friend was shot in the right arm with a 357. The bullet shattered the bone above the elbow and broke apart penetrating the skin of the chest cavity in several pieces. He was sitting upright in the window propped securely when the bullet was fired from 5-10 ft, upon striking him it knocked him physically out of the window, he says the force spun and pushed him. He was stunned, like a state of light unconscious instantly. He said the wound was numb until the hospital and had no control of that shoulder/arm.
Final question to him “ believe in knockdown power”? Answer “ $%#* YES!”
By the way he made a full recovery after several operations, the surgeon said large densebone structure saved bullet from entering chest cavity.
I will research more and post findings.
