Dont get me wrong, the bullet balance is amazing (in my opinion) I just hope that the 9x39 at least has its penetrating abilities that it should have (I can understand the lower HP damage).
Note in this example that a standard load .357 has less impact damage than a .45, but a magnum .357 does slightly more damage. It would then seem that the best way to account for this would be to take the weight and fps into account and give the .45 a higher impact/shock and the .357 a bit more HP.
Perhaps if the devs included a 'knock-back' factor, where an attacking player or Z would be knocked-back and stunned for a moment by a non-lethal hit from something with a heavy power factor... That first round from your .45 might not kill it, but by gosh it gives you a split second to squeeze off a couple more. That would be realistic.
