[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1615951, member: 3455"] Oh, wow, that make perfect sense! I did some number crunching and indeed two energy curves cross at 40 yards (meaning 45 has more Kinetic energy from there on). Thanks for your correction. I yet to see any proof that "slightly more damage" from larger bullet makes any difference in a shot that didn't hit the "kill switch". A lot of fights will end with a simple "hit" - leg, arm, abdomen - just a hit is enough. In the cases where attacker is determined - double lung, heart, liver, etc - even those shots will not make him/her immediately stop. Only brain/spine will. And again in those cases I don't see how the size of the wound channel affects the outcome: heart is hit is a heart hit, collapsed lung is collapsed lung, etc. [/QUOTE]
