Picking up on part of the
'The survival situation and how you lose your gear' thread.
Evan Marshall the 'simple cop' who came up with the insight none of the scientists had: 'let's stop arguing about stretch cavity, or expansion, or whatever theory, lets simply count what rounds stopped people best in shoot outs' carries Corbon DPX in all his guns. You can read his fascinating books (recommended) but that is his personal distillation of all his research.
End of discussion as far as I'm concerned; why do all the research yourself, when its been done for you?
But guns seem to make people opinionated. I won't be contributing to this thread again. For some reason people think the user of a different calibre, or make, from them is the equivalent of a child molester. They are just bits of metal folks!
On the original thread; the author of 'Deep Survival' (amazing book) gives his personal account of how it wasn't the going 'trekking without a pack', but ending up trekking by accident that almost got him in serious trouble. He went for a few hours walked and almost missed the last boat home.
It can happen so easy. A 20 minute drive can get you further than you can walk back in a day.
