wow long read some interesting thoughts. I must say I am glad felt recoil on my rifle is about 70lbs over the couple thousand ft lbs delivered by the bullet in those first few hundred yards.
I understand the seat belt analogy but the energy is absorbed over a large area and is not transfered to a pin point location. Yet the energy in and of it`s self is not likely to kill it certainly will knock an animal down then if the blood loss, organ damage is adequate it is unlikely that the animal will get up.
Getting tagged while wearing body armor with a 9mm certainly would not be anything like a magnum rifle even if the body armor did prevent penetration.
