Guess I need to get rid of my under powered 9mm and start carrying 20mm

Lots of stuff, talk to INGO vets, but I have seen KPVs or even PKPs (even ATRs in 14.5, it's a friggin' museum), or ComBloc or Chinee copies, in the media.

Idiots were probably spraying the sky with one mounted on the back of a truck and this one came down onto someone.

 

[Jolfe]

I guess I have to move up and quit my 9mm...

 

[AF Gunner]

Well there goes the 9mm vs 45. If that was not a one shot kill, I give up. I'll stick with more bullets in the mag. At least then I can hit him more than once with a 14.5

Wow, you're a racist!

He may have survived but it had to give him a splitting headache.

He immediately got the attention of the doctors because he walked into the ER and said "this rounds on me".

That is a hard headed mother flecher

I knew I had seen this one before, just had to look for it.

Not quiet. You see that 14.5mm was not fired from a 1911. Thus the 9mm vs 45 debate can live on.

Wow, you're a racist!

He was joking.
