[QUOTE="Northkill, post: 2898964, member: 110890"] You're onto something. Velocity creates energy. We have to remember that energy calculations are just that - numbers on paper. Its actual benefit is subject to how much that energy gets transferred and used effectively terminally. Furthermore, what the bullet does when it impacts, it's terminal design characteristics, can make it possible for a "low-energy" bullet to out-kill something with much higher energy numbers. I've had effectively designed light bullets handily outperform much heavier, higher energy bullets on similar impacts. Velocity = tissue displacement if the bullet is designed right. I agree that energy is a beneficial number. I just don't see it as the singular factor of consideration. I've had enough personal experiences to speak on this. 😉 [/QUOTE]
