I heard that the FBI says that 9mm and 45 are effectively the same because the added size on one is countered by added speed on the other. Thoughts?
I think you killed a good thread for this and should lurk moar post less

9mm vs .45acp shitposting has been around since the earliest days of /k/'s existence. No consensus has ever been reached, the only people who create such threads are trolls.
shoo shoo troll, shoo shoo
Shitty caliber war troll thread. Sage, report and hide.

Fairbairn and Sykes (yes, THOSE Fairbairn and Sykes) wrote a book about shooting people.
There is also a chapter "Stopping Power".
tl;dr is that there is no inherently better caliber unanimously decidable, but there might be an advantage of faster bullets.

10mm master race

However, we can all agree that .40 S&W is worthless outside of a small niche in competitive shooting.
Rejoice 9mm, 10mm, and .45ACP fans! We can all shit on .40S&W together.
>>33550951
The same FBI that stopped using 9mm and wanted 10mm. Some agents (women) could handle it so went with .40sw. Now they want to go back to 9mm.

*couldnt handle it
>>33550951
The true answer being .41 AE
Or .357 SIG if you can't put your hands on a sweet Jericho.

I would trust the FBI with
>>33550951
All non-magnum handgun ammunition is essentially the same when it comes to practical usage. Statistically, the majority of people shot by handguns in the US survive.
Unless you are using something like 10mm, .357 magnum, .44 magnum, .50AE, .500S&W, an AR pistol or an AK pistol, they all pretty much do the same shit.

7.62x25 says hello
Get the .40 and compromise between both.
The caliber wars is retarded. Be it .357, 9mm, .40, .45, 10mm, anything will kill tyrone the same if you aren't a extremely bad shooter.

Or as this pic sums up quite succinctly:

When you create a thread another one must disappear from the board.

I wish more guns were available in 10mm.
Not just glock and 1911.
>>33559548
And so 9mm wins
>>33550951
I heard the FBI adopted 40s&w because 10mm was too much for their bitch wrists.
