This can happen with any caliber, plenty of people have been killed by a single .22, others have taken multiple hits of .357 mag and survived. All other things equal, heavier and faster moving bullets are better for stopping a threat.

I thought I recalled that certain "military" calibers such as 9mm cannot be owned by civilians in Italy, but may be wrong about that.
