Student: "Wouldn't a .308 have more knock-down power?"
Rifleman: "What exactly is knock-down power? How do you define it?"
Student: "Energy of the round."
Rifleman: "Kinetic energy is one half of mass times velocity squared. Is this what you mean?"

That means the puncturing action is actually more important. People don't die from Kinetic Energy... they die from blood loss or destruction of the Central Nervous System."
Medic: nods to the affirmative.
