Think of this as a pseudo-Socratic exercise. So, what are the major factors that affect "stopping power"? Which are more influential than others? Keep in mind TR's example of the 12.7mm wound, and why the subject didn't die. Is stopping power a valid characteristic if it involves many independent variables?
