Ahh...you want a RIFLE! Great choice, if available.
The truth is you can drill someone in the heart with a 44 Magnum, and the blood in the brain will still allow him to shoot back for 5-20 seconds - longer if the heart isn’t totally destroyed.
Rifles have 4 times the power or more of a handgun, and might provide some knockdown power. However, a lot of deer hunters have discovered you can shoot a deer in the chest with a perfect shot, and still have the sucker run 100+ yards.

Nah, not really. What I tell my daughters to tell the guys who want to date them is that I like a 10-ga. 3-1/2” magnum, BELT-FED, automatic shotgun. Loaded with two .69 cal. punkin balls per shell.
I'd settle for a GAU-8 though.
