The Debrief - Was the FBI Wrong (or Right) About This?

When it comes to handgun stopping power, things have changed a great deal over the past several decades. While cartridge choice, projectile type, velocity and more have changed much over the years, the basic dynamics have remained the same. 113/c2jPK04/VX9wn-714qvzW6C9jpR8t9Zr7W7gFL9V4W1m5JN5g75j13q3npV1-WJV7CgMm1W28XfGk9h41wsW1gT7W22n6_-WW87wTD82gNtbRVq6Cns9jw0kXW7M30ZV3SscvgW46wnqx1QYrmrW7DGH0J78S7YxW6V7Ywn8Ps_L6W4CZWzh5fvPCsW7TCqfS4lPlWqW91RHFB4QD0xnVBxkSt8dbn2WW76khp_9frWGWW3jKtXV7w2Fr8W8zl9_L7L0677W1nFj5W1zq1jJW98hxgg7QD6j4W28VdG87Pk7qNW82CZyH922ybHW8BdXxf6PMCy2W1RtgRb4KqwmjW8KyqD-7V9wSR3drl1 113/c2jPK04/VX9wn-714qvzW6C9jpR8t9Zr7W7gFL9V4W1m5JN5g75jk3q3nJV1-WJV7Cg-pcVTnNL05786jYW1M-2R67ZdF7mW5GLPbG8N1Pk7W1BZRPJ98SyVgW31ZWcS2tMRdTW8pVM6s4CBjNHVSVRbF7BMcbzW2L2n7G6SJFRXW4dsN4k8T4tMhW7G5xPX8PS99MW6GJqnx4-6_KLW72l_114-Q6c9W5pKHn167DVVxW76ZCbg26STNhW6TrYsw7_wnQyW84RNfn15xk90W5HG-3f1xYZmXW5HVHBG2K0rJmW8YsQLC5QN8lFW51jPX5678j8VW2xq1nD2fv2h9W4MJyj17dCvdlW8n0yty48X0qtW39TRmG1JrnrC3mlp1 [WAS THE FBI WRONG (OR RIGHT) ABOUT THIS?](113/c2jPK04/VX9wn-714qvzW6C9jpR8t9Zr7W7gFL9V4W1m5JN5g75jk3q3nJV1-WJV7CgM2BW2ZJNjW2jBJSFW2jdLxc6Fh42WW5MqF_v7TVC_rW7QpC5q238_bTW76YPr-3pmr_-N5PqfJ2Ts9tCW6j1m-Z1XybPHW37hlVj5Wq19qW7DWdDk6CwkjTW6r3K3C6n4qZqW6WGxH823nQ4GW4l1nWZ2H1YTTVZzW1P3bjC8CW5clJwR6VYT9ZW2q32G76Yp3QxW7Tt6HJ56N0F9VS2sGb53d4nLW4hDY2G8s_T74W92l62s4v1WH5W8BMhR85GRZ56W6skG9H2VW6HkW1gtdrn7QCcvcN8kD5kgXwCBGW8MdSPn4jCYhx3cjh1) By Dan Abraham January 19th, 2023 - When it comes to handgun stopping power, things have changed a great deal over the past several decades.

To start us off, Dan Abraham has the 10mm face off against the .40 to determine which is really the best. Each has its merits, but did the FBI’s decision to drop the 10mm for the .40 prove to be the right move after all? Or, should the nation’s premier law enforcement agency have stuck with the metric powerhouse?

Next, Richard Johnson takes us into the workshops of Imperial Germany to examine the flammenwerfer. Better known as a flamethrower, the introduction of these machines of liquid fire inspired terror in the trenches. Interestingly, much of what you think you know about these weapons might be completely incorrect.
