12 gauge slug will do the job.
FAST FRANK - "... I'm pretty sure that a grown man will in fact end up on the ground right after catching a pistol round in the chest while wearing a vest."
Well, you certainly were the cause of the TV ending up on the ground and so you would certainly be responsible for the damage. Just as a person who shoots another is responsible for their ending up on the ground even though the bullet didn't violently throw them to the ground.Say I accidentally bumped your flat screen TV with my elbow, and it wobbled for a second and then fell on the floor.
I'm pretty sure you would jump up and demand payment...
No, I would not, and the reason is that, as I pointed out before when talking about bullets, the fact that your elbow couldn't throw the TV violently to the floor does not mean you couldn't be responsible for it's ending up on the floor.Would you accept my argument that the amount of pressure applied by my elbow was not enough to take your TV off it's feet and throw it violently to the floor, therefore I could not have knocked down your TV?
Words mean things. That's what makes them useful. If words are used incorrectly, then the wrong meaning is conveyed and that is a problem.That's semantics at it's best.
I'm pretty sure that a grown man will in fact end up on the ground right after catching a pistol round in the chest while wearing a vest.
And that brings me back to knockdown power.
I'm pretty sure that a grown man will in fact end up on the ground right after catching a pistol round in the chest while wearing a vest. The energy transfer is still going to be massive and painful, and it just might turn a man's lights off for a little while. It's absolutely going to knock the wind out of him. Probably break some ribs too.
LOL he flew like 20 feet....and I'm pretty sure those were .22's!!!Aaaw c'mon, you mean that old tale about hitting a guy in the thumb with a .45 and it spinning him like a top on a hardwood floor ain't real

It's only in the movies that people go flying through the air when hit with a shotgun, or a 45. In real life they fall down, "if you hit them in the right spot", or stagger off.
A 12 gauge is still a messy thing to be shot with, Especially with 00 buck. it can paint an ugly picture.
This is important, because the antis use the fact that what's his name was wearing body armor in the Colorado movie theater shooting as a complete refutation of CCW's effectiveness.
It didn't knock him down. He might have fallen down, but a shot from a .38 did not knock him down.
There is a very significant difference between a psychological reaction and a physiological reaction.
