I did NOT say that gel and flesh act in the same way, that's ridiculous. What I said was that a bullet engineered for gel will react similarly to one that hits flesh.. Hollow points don't care what fluid medium they hit, if a fluid compound gets into the hole, it will expand. You should have read the rest of the posts where I carefully explained that gel isn't meant to replace flesh and that it's just a scientifically calibrated substitute that gives good enough results for testing and research.
I also said nothing about "knockdown power" or eighties television. It's really very simple. When you injure someone badly enough, he will very likely go into shock, and drop. If you hurt him badly enough, blow out his spine, tear a hole through his kidneys, generally speaking,your opponent will stop shooting back because he can't control his body well enough to continue fighting that's not a reference to knockdown power, it's a simple reference to the physical effects of injury and trauma.
As everyone here knows, The 44 magnum will not blow someone's head clean off, it isn't even a guaranteed kill. A kid tried to commit suicide by his father's 44 and put a round through his heart. He got to a trauma center in maybe thirty minutes, they patched up the damage, and he survived. But, when his parents heard the shot and found him, the trauma of a shot through the heart had left him unconscious.
