[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1552293, member: 7488"] I get the cut of your jib. It's sectional density plus velocity plus projectile size plus projectile mass plus number of rounds. I mean, 9mm may have more "stopping power" if i get 19 of them versus 13 (in an XDm, for example). But then again, 9 hot 40 rounds may impart more energy than 10 9mm rounds (Glock 27 versus 26, for example). I agree with the "stopping power" argument, we are generally splitting hairs. But I say is has [I]some[/I] merit, even if it is mythical, as a .25 has less "stopping power" in general than a .40 S&W. I also say that once you get to 9mm or larger, the argument gets moot. The caliber is all but inconsequential compared to the other variables involved. [/QUOTE]
