Do I need a high stall force in a massage gun?

Stall force is how much pressure the gun can absorb before the motor stalls. Across the reviewers we read, specialist-community threads (notably r/massage) repeatedly argue that amplitude matters more than raw vibration for deep relief, and that higher stall force (roughly 40-55 lbs) matters mainly for larger, muscular users doing deep-tissue work. Casual users and those treating sensitive areas generally do fine with lower-force, gentler devices.
