Have you witnessed lots of leg vs center mass shots with rifles? Why shouldn't ratio of lethality between body and leg shots from rifles remain roughly similar to that of handguns, even as overall lethality increases?  We are going from a 1-to-84 ratio to what, 4-to-81? 10-to-75? 41-to-44?

You're absolutely right, Fred said firle rounds are more lethal than handgun rounds, except he didn't, at all.

In post #1157 Fred writes: "High powered rifle rounds are obviously much more lethal than handguns, but because of the lack of major organs in your legs you are much less likely to die from a would to the leg instead of the head or body."

Denying Fred said what he said doesn't refute his further point about the lesser lethality of leg shots.  You are just dodging the question of ratios.

And you have NOTHING to prove it is any different with rifles. 

Oh no, Fred just said rifle rounds are no more deadly than pistol rounds.  Someone looks stupid.  Or to satisfy GMDabo, "obtuse".   

Fred mentioned a scientific study which shows gunshots to limbs are "less deadly" than gunshots to the torso.  That study does not establish limb wounds are "only slightly" less deadly.

He then "just said' you have offered no proof that rifle shots to limbs are "only slightly" less deadly than rifle shots to the torso.  And he is right. You have not. Breaking bones and cut arteries certainly make a wound more deadly, but they don't make leg wounds "only slightly less" lethal than torso wounds. No case until you can explain what "slightly" means here.  

Your response is 1) to assert Fred said something he didn't, 2) personal attack (projection), and 3) emoticons.

The whole "Fred said rifle rounds are no more deadly" is just a "twisty McTwister" strawman argument.
