zombietactics,

Well it's not about ballistics per see.

Ayoob and others have found that yes the more powerful guns do TEND to stop better. And the better shaped and designed bullets TEND to do better. And shot placement does TEND to make a difference.

And that is why I take Cooper's advice.

And yes, I do remember him saying GI .45 ball was a 95 percent stopper (19 out of 20.)

I considered that gospel till I shot a rabbit with FMJ .45 ball and the bunny ran off a distance before I shot him again.
