[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1789011, member: 96226"] Energy is not just mass and velocity. The velocity is squared for a specific reason. That would be fine if wounding was mathematically related to the square of the velocity but it's not. It's literally exactly the wrong thing to use. Energy gives us a value of the ability for work to be done but it doesn't directly translate to wounding effectiveness or target defeat (penetration) effectiveness. If there's no reliable method of translation of energy to wounding effectiveness or penetration then you're using the wrong point of comparison because you can't compare anything but energy numbers. if 1a cannot be shown via any equation to always be equal to 2b then there is no comparability between 1a and 2b. Q.E.D. [/QUOTE]
