Please, are you guys still discussing, what, the physics of knockdown?

How do you factor in the variables: bones, muscles, skin, sinews, clothing, buttons, items in pockets ad nauseum? The only thing that matters when a projectile exits the muzzle is if the threat is eliminated. If they fail to "knockdown" and instead fall forward upon you leaving blood stains on your clothes, couldn't you
LIVE with that?
