[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1072619, member: 14668"] No. It is favored for military use because the ammunition weighs less, and the cartridge itself has far less recoil which means it can be rapid-fired with greater accuracy. Whether or not the bullet will travel thru the body or not is a function of bullet [I]design[/I], not caliber or velocity. A low-powered handgun cartidge such as the 9mm...which has approximately [I]one tenth [/I]of the muzzle energy of a 30.06...can quite easily pass thru the human body if a full metal jacketed round is used.
