Undid revision 975840228 by
KIENGIR (
talk) Claiming the text simply needs to be in a new paragraph is no excuse to delete it. It does not belong in the second paragraph as that one describes a subtype. The information is general and does not need an additional paragraph as the first one is short, as is the whole article.Tags: UndoReverted

Stopping power
"Ballistics" are part of the physical properties of the bullet such as shape, mass, and velocity. "Point of impact" is not as accurate or understood as "wound location", as it refers to a single point and doesn't include the wound channel.

Handgun hunting
Removed statement claiming that hunting handguns are "every bit as capable" as rifles for big game hunting. While they may be capable, they cannot be held equal to rifles against big game due to their shorter barrels and greater recoil. This editor believes 99% of people familiar with the subject would agree.

Stopping power
→Psychological: Removed "Emotional fainting is the likely reason for most "one-shot stops", and not an intrinsic effectiveness quality of any firearm or bullet", as this claim is unfounded and there is evidence to the contrary. Field data shows a strong correlation between gun cartridges and one-shot-stop rates.

Stopping power
Removed errant information that "stopping power" is only a result of "ballistic trauma", as tasers and other non-ballistic weapons also have stopping power. Also removed was the word "immediately", as stopping power is not measured by whether or not instant incapacitation occurs, but rather by how long it takes. Even "one-shot-stops" allow 5 seconds for incapacitation in most studies.

Terminal ballistics
→General: The previous entry here only discussed an old Newton formula called "impact depth". Not only is this formula outdated and inaccurate, but the subject is only about penetration, which is a subtopic of "Terminal Ballistics" and not a general description.

Match grade
Removed several tags requesting information as that information would not further understanding of the subject. Use of the word "often" denotes the typical usage of the phrase "match grade" and shows there is variation in its usage.

.327 Federal Magnum
The source listed, "Ballistics by the Inch", did not agree with the numbers posted. The energies were changed to reflect their current data as well as the velocity on the 115 gr from the Blackhawk Revolver. The 100 gr velocity is straight from Ruger.Tag: Visual edit

Creationism
The details of the formation of scientific theory are not relevant here and this phrase had only the purpose of demeaning creationists.
