I hate these comparisons. They're irrelevant. All I can think of is bringing a knife to a gun fight. I love my bows but wouldn't defend my family or home w a longbow. Kinda crazy to even imagine it. A .45 might not penetrate dirt but that's not its purpose. It was made to stop things. And imagine making a good shot under the pressure of someone shooting back at you if you miss. I guarantee you even if you hit, they're gonna wanna pay you back, specially if there's more than one bad guy. The .45 can obviously be shot much faster on repeated shots. Now different types of heads mushroom at different distances for the purpose of stopping inside a target for an energy transfer. God Bless our troops and the fellows involved in this video but imo it's ignorance to what our weapons do. .

special ops uses a crossbow,,, I saw one once, they could shoot it well even underwater,,,,, I was allowed to take no pictures, and built by someone, for them only

Contractors from my understanding were too but not for penetration, for silence. Bet they're backed up w guns though
