I realize this was said over 2 years ago, but I dont understand how anyone can possibly believe that. Look at the simple physics behind kinetic energy. Two projectiles moving the same velocities with differing masses will have differing energies behind each of them. Dumping 500 j of energy from a .45 round will have a much more devestating effect vs 150 j from a .22 round.

Take a look at any of the ballistics gel comparisons between various ammunition rounds, and it's clearly apparent as to what's a better stopper.
