Interestingly enough, the fact that a bullet cannot knock you off your feet and blow you away doesn’t seem as obvious as it should. Perhaps this is because we tend to associate muscle strength with power, without taking other factors into account. Being knocked off your feet after being punched by a particularly muscular man seems perfectly plausible (both in movies and in real life), because the punch delivers a huge amount of force to the victim. The same effect could be expected when being struck by a bullet, which travels much faster than a punch, so we assume that it is powerful enough to send the victim sailing through the air.In reality, however, it isn’t. You see, firing a bullet – or doing anything that involves movement as a result of applied force – follows Newton’s third law of motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Sir,
I have spent my life with the .357mag.
Cheap words don't shadow reality.
I will easily forgive your ignorance.
The .357mag is the # 1 man-stopper.
But today, the 10mm Glock-20 is the best deal in town.
Because it can match the stopping power of the vaulted .357mag.
Go in peace.
There is no friction between us.
