Ramon Castillo and Eva, his wife of 30 years, Jewelry Store owners face-off with three armed men who were going to tie them up and shoot them in the head. Four bullets pierced Castillo's body six times because he had to run around getting different "low capacity" guns to fight back.
Castillo's condition was upgraded to fair Wednesday, and he is expected to recover fully. Though "regular" 17-30 round capacity magazines in a "normal" capacity Glock could have benefited Mr. Castillo.

"Castillo, an avid hunter, whipped his hand around the front of his body, pointed the
9 mm Beretta behind him toward the robber and pulled the trigger "
"Castillo then backed up — eyes still forward —
grabbed a .380 and fired a few rounds" as he was making his way to a
new sawed-off shotgun leaning against a wall that had never been fired.
Shotgun in his hands — and praying the gun wouldn't fail him — Castillo then moved toward the front, trying to see through the fog.
He heard a click from one of the men's pistols, followed by the sound of a bullet cartridge hitting the floor.
Realizing that at least one of the men was out of ammunition, Castillo took aim and shot both men in the face.
"Regular/Standard" capacity magazines in a "normal" capacity Glock could have benefited Mr. Castillo.
Babyface Nelson was shot 17 times before he killed the 2 agents that shot him, then he went home. (Only to die later that evening) (10 bullets didn't stop him)
Read the headline twice, think about it:
Angel Alvarez, hit 23 times in Harlem shootout with cops, held without bail on weapons charges (23 bullets didn't kill him)

Doctor Tells of a 19-Gunshot-Wound Survivor
The surgeon, Dr. Albert Cooper, was attending in the trauma unit of Mary Immaculate Hospital that morning when the call came in announcing two patients with multiple gunshot wounds were en route.
Dr. Cooper, the medical team and hospital staff members convened in the trauma bay and waited, with little idea of what had just transpired. Mr. Bell, Mr. Guzman and Trent Benefield had just left Mr. Bell’s bachelor party at Club Kalua in Jamaica, Queens, when officers investigating the club, believing the men were armed, followed them. In the confrontation that followed, five officers opened fire with 50 shots, killing Mr. Bell and wounding Mr. Benefield and Mr. Guzman.
