They then found that all else being equal, a person shot with a medium-caliber weapon, such as a common 9mm handgun, were roughly 2.3 times as likely to die of their wounds than someone shot with a small-caliber gun. Large-caliber gunshots were even deadlier, resulting in odds of death 4.5 times that of small-caliber gunshots.


A large pistol or rifle round is MORE deadly than a .22, or .32.... you dont say?!
This just in folks... people subjected to a nuclear explosion are 1 billion trillion time more likely to die than being shot!

Morons!
Maybe, maybe not. Consider the strange tale of Tsutomu “Lucky” Yamaguchi: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsutomu_Yamaguchi. :mrgreen:

Re: I don't normally read, or quote WAPO, but......

My experience is purely anecdotal, but it is true nonetheless - at least it was when this was happening in my life..... Sure, a GSW patient is more likely to die from a GSW caused by a .45 caliber bullet than a .22 caliber bullet; but a GSW patient is also MANY times more likely to be shot with a .22 than a .45. And this explains why the people I saw who were killed by a .22 outnumbered those killed by all other calibers combined - and that by a significant percentage.
