"stopping power" is sort of hard to define, because what it means exactly depends on who you ask. However, a possible answer to the question is, the .40 SW has (approximately) between 400 and 500 ft-lbs of muzzle energy and creates a hole at least .40 of an inch in diamater (and larger, if it expands).
The main difference between a 9mm and a .45 caliber bullet is the diameter. A 9mm bullet has a diameter of 9 millimeters, while a .45 caliber bullet has a diameter of .45 inches. The .45 caliber bullet is larger and generally heavier than the 9mm bullet, resulting in differences in recoil, speed, and stopping power.
A .40 caliber bullet typically travels farther than a 9mm bullet due to its higher muzzle velocity and larger size. The .40 caliber bullet has more energy and better ballistic performance, allowing it to maintain its velocity over longer distances compared to a 9mm bullet.
Stopping a kick abruptly can lead to loss of balance, decreased power, and increased risk of injury. Following through with a kick allows for maximum power generation, better accuracy, and a smooth transition into the next movement.
Power = (energy used) / (time to use that much energy) = 40/5 = 8 watts
At 20 mph, the average thinking distance is around 20 feet, while the braking distance is approximately 20 feet as well. Therefore, the overall stopping distance for a vehicle traveling at 20 mph would be around 40 feet.
This is mainly personal preference. The 9mm rounds will result in a lighter, cheaper round to shoot, but offers significantly less stopping power then a .40 caliber bullet. If it was going to be your primary concealed carry firearm, I'd go with the .40 because of the extra stopping power. Once again though, this is all personal preference.
357 has more stopping power. It also has quite a bit more recoil, though.
17 Remington.
Depends- WHICH 38 caliber- and which cartridge. The .38 S&W is a relatively weak cartridge, but the .38 Special has been loaded to much higher energies. SOME .38 specials have more stopping power than SOME .380s. and vice versa. The .38 Super Auto has MUCH more power than the .380.
Size and relative power. A .40 caliber bullet is .40 of an inch and the entire cartridge is 28.8 millimeters long. A .50 caliber (handgun) bullet is .50 of an inch and the entire cartridge is 40.99 millimeters long. The .50 caliber has more powder, more velocity, and more muzzle energy.
The caliber for one.
No
the 40 cal is a little bigger then the 357
40
"My pistol is .40 caliber." "We were fortunate to find a manager of his caliber."
The correct term is cartridge, not bullet- and the answer will depend on WHICH .40 caliber pistol.
Yes, a 45 caliber bullet is bigger than a 40 caliber bullet. A .45 is0.45 inches wide in diameter and a .40 is 0.4 inches in diameter.
