Been thinking about this for a while now, and the most recent "Car attack" as posted in the Off-Topic thread really got me wondering. What handgun/bullet combination is going to take out a driver through the windshield? 9mm is higher velocity, "pointier" than 45, but lighter. Hollow point or ball? Why? Compact gun vs full-size and the increased velocity of a 5" barrel vs 3"?
Maybe after we thrash this to death and wander off into .40 cal, 38, 357 sig, 44mag, and EC weighs in on S&W 500 nuclear handloads we can get to long guns and side windows, but for now the scenario is "I'm walking down the street, hear an engine rev, start hearing thuds, turn and see dude in a box truck headed my way down the sidewalk." Which gun and ammo do I really want to have?
