I guess you have never fired an m1911...it's doesn't knock you back at all. The army adopted the handgun during the Philippine Insurrection when the Philippine Moros, who were hopped up on drugs, would keep on charging when hit by the revolvers that were previously used. The .45 cal round that the m1911 fired hit them and knocked them on their ass so they wouldn't get back up. The handgun was used up until the late 80's/early 90's when it was replaced by the much less powerful (and more accurate at greater distances) 9mm.
