45 is more powerfull. larger bullet, more powder = s more knock down power.I own both calibers. It's obvious just by shooting each gun.

If you are referring to the present, today's most powerful sub-machine gun is the H&K UMP .45 cal sub-machine gun, or the Kriss Vector SMG. if you are referring to the past however then its undeniably the Tommy Gun. also a .45 cal sub-machine gun.


What is more powerful 40 or 45?

.40 is the more powerful ---------- I would have to beg to differ on that one. The highest energy .40 S&W round produces 500 ft/lb... that's the 155 grain Guardian Gold @ 1205 fps. The 200 grain Speer Gold Dot in .45 ACP produces 518 ft/lbs, while the 185 grain bonded defense produces 616 ft/lbs. So sure, there are some .40 loads which produce more energy than some .45 ACP loads, but overall? No.
