also they type of ammo is important. not just for the stopping power but also certain types of low grade ammo can clog up your gun and even pit the barrel. i cant remember what the names of the types of ammo were that you should not buy, but i have it written down somewhere...lol..

Actually gun shop "experts" tend to give the worst advice imaginable, on average. "Stopping Power" is one of those keywords one should immediately recognize as a sign that the person you're talking to has no clue what they're talking about. Some of the statements you've made here about ammo (and especially walls) is completely false. Scroll up a few posts and read the link I posted.
