I often read accounts about the 9mm fmj being a poor man stopper in combat. On the other hand I have also read a few accounts of how deadly the luger pistol was in ww2. My question is what would you consider an equivalent to the 9mm fmj in terms of "stopping power"? I would at least think it would do more damage than a .22lr.
It appears that the .45 acp ball ammo is a good man stopper simply because the bullet is so fat. Is this what makes 9mm fmj much worse than .45 ball?
I am interesting in the effectiveness of ball ammo in military combat.
