Recently I have received additional questions regarding by Greg Ellifritz's
"An Alternate Look at Handgun Stopping Power" (
http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/node/7866).
Fortunately the author clearly identifies the flaws with it in his text.
The important take away points are:
-- Lot's of people choose to stop (psychological incapacitation) rather than being forced to stop (physiological incapacitation) when shot with handguns.
-- All the service caliber handguns work about the same for unobstructed shots.
-- Head shots provide more effective rapid incapacitation than torso shots; both are better than peripheral hits.
-- Rifle and shotguns are more effective at stopping bad guys than handguns.
In essence, it fundamentally agrees with everything we have been saying for the past two decades...
