Stopping power, stopping power...
Lots of good theory here. I have read a Firearms ballistics book and there was a very complicated formula for "delivered energy" . It takes in all of the affore mentioned factors and give a Ft/Lb answer. If one was to list all rounds and types the list would be at least interesting. but there would be no number that would indicate what was good Stopping Power. figure a .22 hollow point may rate higher than a 9 mm Para because of "delivered Energy". Then there is the nature of the target. IE Tops examples. Just me thinking, Blitzzz
