it is hard for me to understand how people think a guy can take a shot or two to the chest and keep working his gun or moving if you get hit in the lung your down might not be dead but i would not think you would be running around
also to me having 15 rounds in a stock size mag like the ruger p89 is alot better then having 7 in a stock size mag
In the heat of battle, one gets so hopped up on adrenalin that some don't even feel it when a bullet hits them! I recall that when I was in a combat situation on a couple of occasions, I didn't notice anything, didn't even hear the artillery shells landing close by, and had no symptoms at all until everything was over. Then I noticed my hands were shaking, I got nervous as can be all of a sudden, and I started thinking "You could have gotten yourself KILLED, just a few minutes ago"....... But this only happens AFTERWARD. During the action, you are just too busy to worry about anything!
