If John Hinckley used a 9mm instead of .22, would Reagan have lived?

Reagan suffered a punctured lung from the .22.

And would the others Hinckley shot have lived?

Depends if he is holding the 9mm sideways like a ghetto gansta.

9 mm's have +10 to lung damage per level. Hinckley was a level 18 assassin, so that would've been 180 extra damage to the lung. Plus he was wearing his fedora of malice, so there was already a 35% chance for a critical strike. Yeah he probably would've died

what if it was a rare .22LR weapon vs. a generic 9mm

<sigh> One can only hope so...too bad we can't send Hinkley back in time properly armed.

This thread is now about the uses of multi-flat panel displays in a home desktop setting

I'm personally a big fan of several 42" LCD's plastered on my wall so I can watch all my peep cameras at once.
:hmm:
