    A vague term for a unmeasurable quantity that you use to explain why your custom .69ASFK round is much better than the .420/PP4U your buddy's gun is chambered in. It's the gun version of talking about how vibrant your pink and violet chakra is.

        That has nothing to do with the present argument and he's not even the one who did that study additionally he's basically just repeating the conclusion of the guy who did the study, it's not even his own opinion.

        He is partially right about the AR-15 and I love how much it makes AR-15 fanboys seethe.

            You will never be a real soldier. You have no squad, you have no combine arms capabilities, you have never reacted to contact. You are a regular joe twisted by marketing and influencers into a crude mockery of a trained soldier.

            All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your family is embarressed and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your fake tough guy appearance behind closed doors.

            Men are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed men to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even LARPer8tors who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a man. Your fragile ego is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk guy to belive you're a badass, he’ll realize you're a fraud when you have no response to the question "How many gunfights have you been in?"

            You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

            Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll load a magazine, put a round in the chamber, point it at your temple, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a regular joe is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy of a retail worker.

            This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

    How fast a bullet makes someone's blood pressure drop to the point of incapacitation. Generally larger wound cavities help.

      Isn't it a pressure shockwave? Not necessarily a drop?

        There is no encapacitation from the "pressure shockwave".
        Unless it's a CNS hit, the only method that forces people to stop is blood loss.
        In handguns all that matters is penetration.
        In rifles, penetration is still the major factor, but it fragmenting, whith the pieces having enough velocity to carry on deep into the body is essentially the same as penetration but increasing hit probability on a vital structure that causes blood loss.
        In bullets at 2200-2400fps+ (the bullet has to be that velocity inside the body) the temporary stretch cavity does start to go beyond tissue elasticity thresholds, but the wounds this causes is minor bruising and tearing. Thes added wounds don't increase the likkeyhood of a physiological stop, and are quite minor in comparison to any permanent wound cavity that is formed by a bullet literally crushing your tissue into goo.

    How long incapacitation takes, usually from blood loss. Different from lethality, as in per shot and shooting and any other way you try to slice the data .32 acp is the best pistol cartridge for lethality, however it sucks in time to incapacitate so while the guy you shot will certainly die, he still has time to shoot you back before he bleeds out. High stopping power is ability to stop, usually referring to stopping a charging animal (like an elephant or Black person) quickly as larger big bore cartridges have a bit of spread for how long it takes (in seconds) to stop a charging elephant with blood loss or any other non-instant incapacitation. Basically bigger bullet=less time for retaliation, but lethality remains pretty consistent when they are of comparable size. So smaller rounds allow you to hold and therefore kill more, but larger rounds deny chance of retaliation.
