I understand all that..it is incredible what people can do with round ballistics these days..but when you have a person charging you and you need to put them down quick do you want a bullet the size of a 9 going into someone and hoping that smaller round can hit something vital or the bigger round going in and hoping it hits something
I get what you are saying..I misused stopping power because I was typing fast and didn't think of the right word..ability to cause a larger wound cavity..is probably what I should of said
