Those huge cavitation channels you see are from rifle rounds. Pistols just don't have the velocity needed to do that sort of damage. Maybe 22tcm or 5.7...
Somebody mind explaining to an idjit what the percentages are percentages of, lol?
If that's the case, where would 10mm be of it were on that list?
Percentages of how awesome they are compared to 40SW. They just set 40 as the benchmark and worked it relative from there looks like.
Remember being graded on a curve?Somebody mind explaining to an idjit what the percentages are percentages of, lol?
Still irreleventIf that's the case, where would 10mm be of it were on that list?
Did Marshall and Sanow even calculate awesomeness in their stopping power statistics?Percentages of how awesome they are compared to 40SW. They just set 40 as the benchmark and worked it relative from there looks like.
Well, a 185gr .45 ACP will leave a permanent wound channel with about a 1.5" diameter and a good 7-8" in depth. That doesn't include the temporary cavity created upon impact that collapses into this permanent channel.
9mm | .40 S&W | .45 ACP | |
Dia | 0.59 | 0.69 | 0.66 |
Pen | 16.9 | 15.6 | 16.0 |
Volume | 4.59 | 5.83 | 5.49 |

Yeah, and never mind the copious amounts of documented cases of people taking multiple rifle rounds (sometimes .30cal+), sometimes in the dozens, surviving, and sometimes even continuing to fight through it...
So 1/10 of an inch makes a difference.....and yet people still don't even regularly measure themselves against a shot timer? LOL
I took a co-worker shooting that hadn't ever been before. He took to the MkIII like a duck to water. By the end of the day he was doing rapid mag dumps into the head of the target in about 3" groups. Yeah, I think that would do the job even with .22Shots on target, at speed, is the #1 factor, outside of avoiding the situation of course.
Caliber, meh
