[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1311564, member: 30671"] I believe, knockdown power, knockout values, kinetic energy, momentum, stopping power, and other such attempts to label the effects of bullet impact or lethality fall short. I believe, larger calibers, heavy for caliber bullets, with bullets of the same construction, will destroy more tissue, and "Generally" result in quicker kills or DRT experiences. Some ratio of bullet to game size for a desired effect also exist, and the terms of "inadequate" or "overkill" inflame the discussion due to lack of common definition, and are less than helpful. Like Goldilocks we struggle to achieve "just right" given the variables. [/QUOTE]
