I am not a big fan of Masaad Ayoob but he had a very good article on the Miami FBI shootout. He read the autopsy reports, the police reports etc. He basically said the 9MM performed very well.

I don’t recall all the details but basically he said those two guys were very unusual. They kept fighting for a minute of so after they should have been dead. The 9mm bullets had performed perfectly, even tearing the aorta off one of the bad guys.

Ayoob basically said they would have kept fighting no matter what standard rounds had hit them unless they were to the brain.
