[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 3045718, member: 26077"] Energy is a function of mass and speed. Move that mass faster, you get more energy. What the extra speed gives you is distance and a flatter trajectory, the byproduct is energy. You can't shoot an arrow 500 yards, it runs out of speed before it gets there and hits the ground. However, if you can hit your target at 200 yards, that low energy projectile will still kill/penetrate just fine. Have you ever looked at the military tests of the 1350 fps 45-70 at 2 miles.
