This video explores the concept of 'knockdown power' by testing various handgun and shotgun calibers against a weighted target. While the term 'knockdown power' is deemed nebulous and lacking a precise mathematical formula, the experiment visually demonstrates the energy imparted by different rounds. The 12 gauge slug is shown to have the most significant physical effect, dislodging the target's footing. The video highlights that bullet energy transfer in soft tissue is complex, often involving penetration rather than an abrupt stop and dump of all energy.
