Incredible.

I was going to type a big reply, but you pretty much summed it up right there. Its not that a .380 (Especially Hollow Point) isnt lethal, its all about placement. 71yr old Williams was literally 5 ft from the guy with his first shot and he was aiming high and missed.

If you get shot in the side of the head with a .380 from 5ft away..........Its not going to be good, and you will hope you die if you dont.

Another very interesting note and something we can all learn from: Look at how frozen most people are. Go back and watch the video and notice how the people almost appear as if their in a movie. Just as helpless as can be.

You're right. Deer in the head lights all around. Watch the large lady whos walking past the robber. When the old man gets his first shot in, you can see her just kind of flinch, but she still continues walking slowly forward, hands in the air, like a robot. Most of the other patrons flinch, but also continue to be otherwise un-moved.

It sums one thing up....MOST people are prey. This is a prey animals reaction when its face with a danger it cannot evade. They freeze, they surrender and their body basicaly accepts death unless the circumstances change.
