That's the thing; you can't quantify stopping power. THere are too many variables.
For instance, if the bullet overpenetrates, not all energy is expended on the target. However, it gives him a second hole to bleed out of.
Other variables?
-Where the bullet enters/exits, and what it hits along the way.
-The constitution and willpower of the target.
Not many, it would seem like. But those two are a DOOZIE. Shoot two seemingly similar people in the same place with the same gun and they might react completely differently.
