Since the second amendment was written in 1791 you should all be restricted to muskets.

Excellent question ATY !
Since he's Norwegian, if the US disappeared he would definitely be speaking Russian in a short time.
Or in a forced labor camp.

Worse, he's Dutch. Norway is hard to drive Hordes of tanks to.

Auto pistols are for close range work. Heavy bullets, low velocity, .45 rules.

Cooper oversimplifies, but he does make a point. More capacity doesn't help, if you can't hit your target. No1, Paraordnance makes a .45 with a 14 round double stack magazine, stead of the old 7 rounders for the traditional 1911 .45ACP. Navy Seals like the other German .45 which has a double stack magazine as well. Smaller hands may limit use of those double stack guns. I notice little difference between felt recoil of nines and a .45, and I don't care much about downrange accuracy or flatness of trajectory. Inside 30 feet I want the 230 grain .45 hitting my target, not a wimpy 125 grain nine.

Which is "better"? The one that you can hit your target with consistently, and quickly, and that is light and compact enough so that you will carry it.

1) We don't drop tanks out of aircraft

2) Airlift can't send the whole army

Or a charging grizzly bear, where you need to beak a shoulder to stop it.. a 9mm would be grossly under powered.
Then you have to be good enough to hit a target moving faster than a 1/4 horse in 30 yds over uneven terrain..
And ole Anal one I am in doubt of your ability to hit a paper target. Let alone something moving to kill your arse.
