[QUOTE="Red Sparky, post: 948918, member: 37223"] For my two cents there is no such thing as knock down power. The amount of energy a bullet has is less than the recoil energy. The amount of force accelerating from zero to 3000 fps in 2 feet is the same a de-accelerating the same thing from 3000 fps in the same distance. The bullet is going slower at the target than the muzzle so is less energy. I haven't been knocked down by a rifle yet shooting offhand. Now if someone would like to explain how the energy gets created for this "knock down" effect to occur I would like to hear it. Remember energy can not be created or destroyed only transformed. If you are really interested in learning about this thread read Dr. Martin Factler's books. He is an expert in the area of wound channels and terminal ballistics. [/QUOTE]
