That doesn't seem logical. If it takes three hits from .224 bullets (30-rd magazine) to kill or incapacitate, but only two hits from a larger caliber (25-rd mag), wouldn't that mean .224 has fewer stowed kills? Or maybe I have the wrong idea of what "Stowed Kills" is?
What does "by weight" mean?
Stan:
Yes, you do have a good idea what a 'Stowed Kill' is.
Dr. Roberts discusses this among other things here. http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?p=393730
See his comments about Page 26 under section 3.
This is why factors are weighed when making decisions or running a statistical analysis. Stowed Kills may not necessarily mean as much in a decision as other factors or they may mean as much or more.
