For " knockdown" I believe you need CNS involvement in the trauma. Jeffbird posted some excellent videos of a repeatable DRT shot on boars and deer. Check it out! I would ask him his thoughts.
That is where the autonomic plexus or brachial plexus come in. Or brain,or spine etc.
To see the whole lungfield gelatinsed is about all a " meat saver " shot into the thoracic cavity caudal to the front leg is going to show.
The animal could still be ambulatory for a short time.
Unless some kind of CNS trauma also occurred.
