I really feel there are three ways to stop a threat.
Pain, fear or a CNS hit. Most criminals seem to respond to fear and run off, judging by various SD accounts.
After that it's the pain of being shot (and resulting fear), but if the perp is hopped up on drugs a CNS hit is ultimately what stops them immediately. If you (God forbid) have to shoot someone, the pain of getting shot should suffice to stop the attack. 2" less penetration in gel really doesn't mean much for the pain factor. IMO.
