A big, slow .45 round will probably knock him on his @$$; a tiny fast .223 might leave him standing unless placement is perfect.

There is no human alive who could dodge a bullet traveling at either speed.

Are you trying to tell me the Matrix is fake???

I’m sorry but a .45 handgun round will stop the bad guy (within short ranges) better than a fast moving .223 any day of the week. .................................. Yrs ago I handled a case involving a shooting at a White Castle in Queens NY. The perp shot the victim 5x with a 1911 while the victim was waiting for his order. The victim lived!

I would be willing to test his theory. I’ll give him an AR and I’ll have my 1911.

Yeah, the bullets lose some punch in the traveling.
Better to do what they do in East St Louis,
and insert the bullets manually.

If you are going to be dodging bullets, the caliber makes little difference at all. Better to get in all your dodging BEFORE the trigger is pulled.

Despite popular mythology to the contrary, NOBODY outruns the shot.

A .22LR slug, lodged in the right place in the human body, and probably has not exited, can maim, severely disable or even kill the target. A .45 merely makes a bigger hole, and usually the exit hole is larger than the entrance wound.

Larry Larry Larry. A bullet from a handgun is faster than the BCSO. And a turtle is faster than you. What a moron.
