Terrorists don’t wear body armors, and “power” of guns don’t matter as well.
In fact, it gets weaker and weaker as guns improve because the required amount to “stop” a human had been grossly overestimated.
.308 hunting rifle cartridge, still deemed necessary to stop charging wild animals, has muzzle kinetic energy of 3.5kJ. .223Rem for AR-15, used in wars against humans, is 1.8kJ, 9mmx19 used in latest “tactical self defense” PCCs is just 0.5kJ.
Bullets are all deadly if it hits and when it hits.
