Meh....

The way I look at it, a threat will be stopped with a firearm in one of two ways:

1. "Mental" stop.
A. Threat see's firearm and stops his threatening action.
1. Threat does NOT want to be shot by firearm and either evades or surrenders.
B. Threat is injured by firearm and stops his threat despite being physically able to continue his threatening action.
2. Threat does NOT want to be shot again and either evades or surrenders.

2. "Physical" stop.
A. Threat is engaged by firearm and physically unable to continue his threat due to injury / death.

ANY firearm is capable of achieving the first.

ANY firearm is capable of achieving the second as well, however, greater power is certainly more efficient at this task in a wider variety of circumstances.
