study the kinetic energy of a 10 grain pellet at 800 fps and 700 with 16 grain regardless of caliber, it's called STOPPING power
maybe you would like to be hit by a Ford Focus at 80 miles per hour or a train at 50 miles, who transfers more ENERGY??
big caliber at slow speed transfer's Knock down power, low caliber at high speed does not cause the wear and tear in flesh that big one does
get hit by a M16 5.5 MM bullet in the chest and you might survive but get hit with a .50 cal and the exit hole will be bigger than your head, by the way the 5.5 is screaming at you while the .50 is picking Daisie's while it goes along to the target
the transfer of energy is by the MASS energy out-put of the projectile not the speed, weight matters
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. RIGHT, if I push 100 pounds and I weight 200 it will be inches but if it is 10 pounds the opposite reaction will be in feet's
