      Stopping POWER and gun presence and knowing how to properly use/deploy it are 2 complete different things. He even said in the video. 6 rds. With a .38 in a doped up soldier is not doing it. Stopping power is dropping you like a sack of potatoes, like there's no more fight or flight in you and not need to restrain afterwards. Hence the word STOPPING POWER, not prevent.
      And if I was a deranged person that wanted to do a mass shooting, people with open carry would be the 1st people I'd go for to inflict as much damage as possible before I get killed. Concealed and training is best but we are talking about "Stopping power." Zero shots is not gun defense, thats just defense.

      The 308 is more powerful and for european hunters ranges are almost never over 100 meters. It's considered unethical to even take a shot at a moose at 150+ meters. But then we live in heavy forrester land where encounters are sub 80 meter and we mainly hunt with dogs.

I doubt a 22lr or a .17 caliber pellet gun would do that. I doubt any pistol caliber would do that with a plate based on what I’ve seen happen to cops wearing soft armor.

And I personally have dispatched cows that we butchered with a .22lr. With the right shot placement a .22 LR will kill any animal on the north american continent.

      It just takes a head shot with a .22 my dude. Deer are only hard to kill for idiot Fudds who never shoot. Those same Fudds and their lack of skill is the only reason heart-lung shots are considered the standad, and why people think you need a .30-06 to kill a deer at 80 yards.
      Get good, make head or neck shots. Use a more reasonable caliber.
      If rimfires weren't illegal for deer in Texas, I'd use it in a heartbeat. As it is, I use a .223, which braindead Fudds think is not enough for whitetail, and is e an illegal for being "too small" in some states. Never failed to one shot a deer, and never had them not fall where they stand.

    Ultimately, it comes down to your personal shooting style. I carry a 9mm, but i believe in shot placement and i'm accurate enough to have confidence in that. If you're not a very good shot, then logically the bigger a hole you can put in something the less important shot placement becomes. Obviously you still have to be able to hit the target, but yeah a .44 magnum will blow a bigger hole in something than a 9mm.

    Great video guys. For stopping power, if I could only have one gun, it would be the semi auto 12 gauge with 00. In a hand gun I would go for the .357 Sig with 125 GR. HP. The rifle is a tough choice, but if I could only have one and food was a priority, I would choose the .444 Marlin. Inside 150 yards it will take any North American game, from deer to brown bear. For long range at 500+ yards, I really like the .338 Lapua. Thank you again for the great video!

    • @michaelbridges1370

Combination you are talking about with the sig is great and nothing does what a good. Shotgun does. With 00 or slugs. And myself I never tryed the 444 Marlin lever action. I my own. Thinking. It would proforma. Inside 150 a little less than. 45-70 lever gun

    The way I view "stopping power" is that the highest velocity and most expansion you get enough penetration to comfortably hit the vitals, and get most of your expansion in the vitals not past them, is ideal. For example I've never had a deer take a step with a 100 grain from a 257 weatherby. I've never had one not run from a 45-70. Muzzle energy is a great metric for comparing cartridges within the same "classes" that I'm kind of making up here. Low velocity like normal handguns up to big slow stuff like 45-70 up to around 2000fps. Mid velocity like older rifle cartridges with shoulders like a 30-30 for example but in general up to about 2700fps. And high velocity cartridges above that it's a big category you have what are now standard rifle cartridges like 308 and 5.56 up to hotter stuff like the weatherby magnums or modern long range cartridges. Energy is great for comparing within these classes but basically useless comparing across classes. For example muzzle energy of a 257 weatherby with a 100 grain bullet is about 2850 ft/lbs, and an original 45-70 black powder load with a 405 grain at roughly 1200fps is only about 1295 ft/lbs. I absolutely would not shoot a bison with a 257 weatherby and wouldn't hesitate to shoot one with a black powder 45-70 load.

During WW2 in the Philippines the native people were wrapping themselves with cloth,tightly, a when shot with hardball ammo from a rifle, they would keep coming long enough to chop you up with a machete, before they bled out, but the 45 would knock them flat on their butt.
