This podcast episode debunks the myth of 'knockdown power' in firearms, explaining that stopping power is primarily achieved through significant blood loss leading to oxygen deprivation to the brain (Type 2 stop) or direct central nervous system trauma (Type 1 stop). Experts emphasize that actual physical force from recoil does not 'knock down' a target in the way depicted in movies. The key to effective stopping power lies in achieving adequate penetration to cause sufficient tissue damage and bleeding, rather than relying on kinetic energy or momentum alone.
