The entire discussion of "stopping power" is both stupid and irrelevant. Statistics cannot be applied to individuals. People that need to be shot need to be shot soon and often. They need to be shot until they run out of fluid, brains, or balls.

If during the time you were reading the latest "stopping power" article you were instead practicing to save your life you would be far, far ahead.
