Depends- WHICH 38 caliber- and which cartridge. The .38 S&W is a relatively weak cartridge, but the .38 Special has been loaded to much higher energies. SOME .38 specials have more stopping power than SOME .380s. and vice versa. The .38 Super Auto has MUCH more power than the .380.
357 has more stopping power. It also has quite a bit more recoil, though.
Shot placement is the most important thing. A 25ACP will kill you if the shot is placed properly. A pellet gun can kill you if the shot is placed properly. It does not mean it will stop an attack quickly. All handguns have stopping power. Some have less than others. According to many sources, the .25 ACP is one of the worst, if not the worst.
ONE- and I emphasize ONE set of numbers gives the .22 magnum a 42% rating for a "one shot stop", when fired from a 6.5 inch barreled revolver. Compare to a rating of 78% for a .38 Special from a 4 inch barrel, or 96% for a 125 gr .357 Magnum, 4 inch barrel. The .22 Magnum can be a fairly LETHAL round, but does not have a great deal of immediate stopping power (ability to incapacitate an opponent immediately).

No, buy .50 Action Express, much more stopping power.
This is mainly personal preference. The 9mm rounds will result in a lighter, cheaper round to shoot, but offers significantly less stopping power then a .40 caliber bullet. If it was going to be your primary concealed carry firearm, I'd go with the .40 because of the extra stopping power. Once again though, this is all personal preference.
There is no stopping power on Call of Duty Black Ops.
"stopping power" is sort of hard to define, because what it means exactly depends on who you ask. However, a possible answer to the question is, the .40 SW has (approximately) between 400 and 500 ft-lbs of muzzle energy and creates a hole at least .40 of an inch in diamater (and larger, if it expands).
It depends on the caliber and the barrel length.Also, the "effective range" is not the same as how far a bullet will travel.A .22 can fly more than a mile, but it has no "stopping power" at that range.
Not made for accuracy, made for high rate of fire, durable action.

Magazine article after magazine article has been written on this subject and there is no real definitive answer. It all dpeends on the caliber and stopping power of the weapon balanced against the ease and conceealment of the weapon.
Front brakes have significantly more stopping power than rear brakes.
