Here is my definition I proposed to him earlier. An average sized male standing upright, sober and conscious, is knocked off his feet to the ground purely by the force of the handgun bullet strike. This is not to be confused with "falling down" due to psychological or physiological means.
The FBI says such force would also knock down the shooter due to Newton's third law. The FBI further says that "stopping power" is a myth and the effectiveness of a round should be measured by wounding or medical reasons.
