Again, as predicted, you did not read the response very closely.... no one has said that FPE is conserved.

I'll ask Dr. Hannigton the next time I run into him.

JWP475 it's clear you are not reading the replies in this thread (and others) or the book you reference very closely. I suspect that this will continue.

Also,just because energy is defined in Joules doesn't mean the transfer is to thermal energy.

Yes I am reading, but you are not understanding.. Yes it is mostly transferd into Thermal energy and since energy is not conserved and momentum is, then it is the momentum that is transferd...

Dam guys lighten up !!

I told you this would never be settled.

But I can tell you one thing ,When I was a young boy and did'nt
all ways behave my parents would give me the choice of weapons that
would be used to line me out and I would allways choose a willow switch,
(very light,with high velocity and low energy)without any knowledge of
such things but I did know enough to stay away from baseball bats
tire tools and crowbars.(Heavy, slow and with lots of energy) because they
would remove pieces from your body.

Just kidding guy's

If I won't stop reading these posts anytime soon, I'll have a Master Degree in Physics and Mathematics. However, I will always agree that the larger/faster/heavier/more energy bullet will kill better and quicker then the smaller/slower/lighter/less energy bullet will.
