The Glock was struck by one bullet, and immediately failed to function anymore.

He was hit by three bullets, and took care of business anyway.
The glock (and any other firearm) is a precision machine designed to operate under tight tolerances. Catastrophic damage like that would make *any* gun fail. The human body is designed to be able to keep going, for a little while anyways, after catastrophic damage--like the three gunshot wounds he received.

I respect what the man did--he is a hero, and deserves praise. But this lawsuit is ridiculous.
