Biden trying to sound like a real gun buff.

 He isn’t.  And he sounds dumb talking about stuff he knows little to nothing about.  He was describing ordinary 9mm handgun ammunition as “powerful” and “strong enough to rip your lungs out”.

  In actual fact, 9mm is an ordinary handgun round.  Convert mm into inch measure (25.4 mm to the inch) and you get .36 caliber, about the same as the .38 handguns the cops carried back before they all converted to 9mm Glock automatics.  9mm is a perfectly reasonable pistol cartridge, widely used, but nothing special in the power department. 

   You want real power in a handgun?  Try the old .45ACP round used in the 1911 army automatic.  Try 357 Magnum or 44 Magnum.
