If you shot 43 people in the arm or leg with a 45, how many do you think would survive? Probably all of them. Shot placement is key. I don't know where the survivors were shot on their body, but I'd bet that most of them were not hit COM or in the head.
That's true, and witnesses reported that those killed were hit multiple times COM. I imagine you'd see pretty much the same results regardless of caliber.

It mentioned that there was a lot of controversy over the effectiveness of the round because there had not been very many real life shootings with the round. I would imagine that Major Hasan just put an end to the arguments. I would say the 5.7 is an effective round.
