maybe one that shoots .22 would be alright. All these other people make it sound like you buying .500 S&W for a teeny 11 year old

I saw a detective discussing murders on the Investigative Discovery Channel recently. He solved 387 murders.

He said since the small caliber bullets don't have the power to punch their way completely thru the body, the bullet will take the scenic tour throughout the body and do massive damage internally.

He said small caliber gunshots are usually fatal. He said the victim will usually die before a surgeon can repair the structural damage.
