Because of its slowness it has more knockback power than something like a 9mm and that is why many prefer it for its knockdown power. They know that if they hit their target, it's not going to keep moving forward and potentially cause harm. One or two hits from a .45 will do the trick, while a round like a 9mm may require several (I have read about as many as 36 and still surviving) hits before the target is dead or sufficiently stopped.

It is still a penetrating bullet. A rubber bullet and a bean bag are meant to not be penetrative. That is the big difference and is exactly what your quote is discussing, hence why they talk about bean bags and rubber bullets being non-penetrative and used for knockdowns. You see a pattern here?
