[QUOTE="Culpeper, post: 2954242, member: 12583"] Energy = mass X velocity squared. At some point every bullet has its spent range where it is no longer lethal, per se. Nevertheless, a lot of people have been wounded and killed by spent rounds. The OP is really asking about stopping power in a general way, which isn't sufficient to provide a definite answer. That is a whole study based on many factors. There is no short answer as life is too unpredictable and so are bullets left to their own devices. Nevertheless, the deliberate lethality range of any firearm and ammo combo is easily calculated in this day of smartphone apps. The OP can look it up maybe read a book. [/QUOTE]
