800 yards is a mighty loooong shot. Not sure why you picked that number. What is the MOA at that range?
Newfie wrote:Yeah, I get it.
Still think it is tough on the civilian population.
It is hard for me to imagine firing off 40,000 rounds in war WITHOUT killing a substantial number even if they are just innocent bystanders.
The End Result – A Different Kind of Trauma
The bulletproof vest or armor plates absorb that energy and dissipate it over a wider area. This energy absorption and dissipation keeps the bullet from penetrating, but the energy is still a threat. A large caliber round like the .45 ACP can still cause significant blunt force trauma to the wearer’s body affecting the wearer in several ways.
Deep bruises or contusions
Broken bones, especially ribs
Tissue deformation and physical damage
Emotional Stress and trauma

Moving on, some mental case just killed 10 in a Buffalo food store. News said a retired cop security guard shot the perp multiple times, but the bullets did not penetrate the shooters body armor.
I wonder what the guard was shooting, and what round. One would think, perhaps wrongly, a 45 slug at close range would knock someone back like a good punch, 400ftlb at muzzle.

I also agree .308 is probably too much and .243 too little. But lots of room between.
BUT it sounds like a done deal.
