[QUOTE="bomberodevil, post: 2745498, member: 23175"] I'm going to hate myself for doing this but… You say that energy means nothing, it doesn't kill anything, and that you only look at speed and a reasonably sized bullet. Makes sense, since the only two factors in measuring kinetic energy is bullet mass and velocity. By using bullet size and speed, you're using energy.
