In reply to the discussion: How many bullets does one need for self defense? [View all]farminator3000
(2,117 posts)41. is the attacker using it? there is also a problem with your question
if the attacker is using your gun, you are in a little too deep.
instead of caliber, maybe how good a shot are you?
you might add where are you? at home? in a war?
but i think you answered your question with your mistake- "the attacker" meaning ONE person?
if you need more than 2 bullets for one person, maybe hire a bodyguard?
