Part of that is because the standard .45acp military round is the round-nose FMJ ball bullet. It penetrates well, of course, but tends to just slip through tissue without doing much damage, with the exception of head shots. That's totally different from today's +P JHP ammo.G26ster wrote:
“This weapon (the M1911) was primarily for defensive purposes since its effective range is limited to not more than 25 yards, except when handled by an expert. Its ineffectiveness was well proven by the amazingly small number of casualties it inflicted upon enemy troops during WWI as revealed by post-war inspection of German casualty lists and hospital records.”
