Stopping power is the supposed ability of a weapon — typically a ranged weapon such as a firearm — to incapacitate or immobilize a target (human or animal). Stopping power contrasts with lethality in that it pertains only to a weapon's ability to make the target cease action, regardless of whether or not death ultimately occurs.
