They concluded that a hit in the torso from a .40 supersonic rounbd had a 100% probability of incapaciting a man, while for the .40 subsonic and .45 rounds it was 90% . I don't remember precisely what the number was for the 9mm, but I think it was slightly less than 80%

Makes you wonder how they test such a statistic.

If they specified their methodology I don't remember what it was.

The FBI has many, many detailes reports involving shootings and I suppose they could extrapolate something based on this data.

Or they could have shot anesthetized animals and recorded their EEGs.

I really don't know.

Most results are data from real life gun fights.

Incapacitation was quantified meeting both of two criteria. (Both, not either/or)

1. Inability to get off another shot AND
2. Inability to move more than 10 feet from where shot.
