| Description | Stopping power is related to the physical properties of the bullet, but the issue is complicated and not easily studied. Although higher caliber has traditionally been widely associated with higher stopping power, the physics involved are multifactorial, with caliber, muzzle velocity, bullet mass, bullet shape, and bullet material all contributing. Critics contend that the importance of “one-shot stop” statistics is overstated, pointing out that most gun encounters do not involve a “shoot once and see how the target reacts” situation.
