And everyone knows that 9 230 gr 45ACP flying ashtrays out of John Browning's finest are more than equal to 18 9mm mosquito mashers out of a plastic watergun or a crunchenticker.

This of course is only applicable when fired from the Weaver stance.

Winner!

There, I fixed it.

You cannot, logically, say that the choice of weapon is not relevant to the issue.

mr72, you seem to be getting lost among your strawman arguments.

Per the OP, the "issue" is whether or not the scenario given is a good argument against the 6-shooter. The "issue" is not if another type of weapon is more advantageous.

On another issue, I would be grateful if you did not alter my quotes to suit your own interests.
This falls under the rule of common courtesy.

If you would like to start a thread on the advantages of Hi-cap perhaps you could start here:

Group of 20 Men Attack, Rob Two Victims in Greensboro

MyFox Local News

GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) -- A group of approximately 20 black males allegedly attacked two woman on High Point Rd. early Wednesday morning.

Around 1:25 a.m., approximately 20 young black males approached Mingan Pao, 37, and Quinghua Lu, 18, near the intersection of High Point Rd. and Immanuel Rd.

According to police, the victims stole Ms. Lu's purse and laptop computer. Mr. Pao suffered cuts, bruises and a possible broken jaw.

Returning to the subject of the OP, (Good Argument Against a 6-Shooter), it appears that the argument presented is based solely on mathematics. (7 Attackers vs 6-Shooter)
However, as pointed out in the first two posts, the problem is not necessarily math as other
dynamics should be considered.
The ability of the shooter to score hits and reload is a definite factor.

I have to say that the post where my friend HV is lying on the ground being systematically beaten by all seven attackers after apparently firing 6 warning shots is not to be considered
relative to the answer.

So after all the discussion, the question remains.
Is this scenario a good argument against a 6-shooter?
The answer is no.
However a weapon of higher capacity would have a mathematical advantage.

The outcome of this scenario will be determined by the mindset, ability, and tactics of the
shooter and not by his choice of weapons.

Reminds me of that old math quiz.
If there are six crows on a fence and you shoot one.
How many are left?
