Some basic things to those who are unaware.
These are three calibers most commonly used.
7.62 NATO, 5.56mm and 9mm.
The kinetic energy of the bullets
9mm: 7.45g, velocity = 407m/s or 455 ft lb
5.56mm: 4g, Velocity = 864m/s or 1328 ft lb
7.62mm: 10g, Velocity = 833 m/s or 2437 ft lb
So because the bullet is going down range much faster, the 5.56mm round has almost 3 times the energy of a 9mm pistol round. The 7.62mm NATO round has over six times the energy.
Why is it important. Law enforcement around the world uses 9mm as standard because it proceed least amount of damage with decent stopping someone without causing collateral damage or killing him instantly. You can survive it if it doesn't hit your vital organs. 5.56 and 7.62 are both reserved generally reserved for military because of their power. 7.62 is guaranteed to kill you if it hits any part of your upper body without a vest
Controversy
Brazil police generally uses .40 S&W or 9mm but for favelas or should I say when they are trying to catch a Brazilian criminal who isn't white. They use thr 7.62 mm. In all the favela raids thr Brazilian cops have used 7.62mm NATO rounds with a full intention to kill. They weren't trying to bargan, weren't trying to stop, they weren't trying to bring them out alive. They were there to massacre and terminate them. They were there with one simple goal that is to kill. There's clear evidence that police used lethal force on purpose. These raids were nothing more than state sponsored murder missions
