At it's most simple...

A bullet simply punches a hole in what it hits, and what it hits bleeds
out, 
and that's the end of the story. One can attempt to play games with 
expansion, bullet fragmention and the like- but that core fact overrides 
everything else. Hyrostatic shock on humans is a mostly a myth (only rare 
exceptions apply like a liver or a good skull hit). Rifles on people waste

most of their energy outside the victim (after exiting) or in tearing 
themselves up.

So it basically comes done to whatever makes the biggest hole times the 
length of penetration with the latter bound by the thickness of the human 
body in the line of impact. Handguns at very good at maxing out that
factor.

The advantage of rifles are found in range, ability to deal with much 
tougher than human targets, and punch through armor and/or cover.

This is one of the reasons the Spec Ops favor SMG weapons (firing pistol 
ammo) for close quarters battle instead of assault rifles despite the fact

that a M4 handles about as well and doesn't have significantly greater 
(about the same as I recall) recoil as a MP5. The 9mm pistol round puts a 
bigger hole in a person and has a better chance of taking him down quick 
than the 5.56mm rifle round does.

I now expect not to be believed. I'm used to that, but in no real more to 
debate it yet again. There are good places to go to research this, and for

any interested I suggest doing so.
