“The idea of “Stopping Power” is the ability of the SYSTEM, gun and ammunition, to deliver energy and shock to the target in sufficient amounts to STOP the target”
Your theory on stopping power is bogus. You don’t kill someone with energy. You kill them by hitting something vital as the bullet makes a channel thru the flesh. You also are ignoring things like hollowpoint bullets.
Also ignoring the traditional pointed 45 Colt bullet which did little damage unlike a swc or hp.
Tell that to the US Army who developed the Hatcher Relative Stopping Power Scale under General Julian Hatcher (then Colonel) who was charged with find a method for determining the best side arm for military use, Mr Rogers. I spoke of hitting something vital with the neat holes . . . a dying eventually as the target bleeds out. The death is unimportant in STOPPING POWER. . . which is where you miss the point. SHOCK to the body is the point, to STOP the person in a FIGHT situation from continuing his action. . . not necessarily to kill immediately but to STOP him. You STOP them with energy delivered to the target. You can kill someone with a minor amount of poison delivered which will kill them in minutes, hours, days later. . . but that does not STOP them instantly from shooting back at you.
And I addressed "hollow point bullets" when I wrote about bullets that are designed to increase the cross-sectional density of smaller, lighter bullets to slow them down. That covers hollow point or any bullet that is designed to expand in size on impact. You really don't know what you are talking about. . . in this case. I do. Sorry.
