[QUOTE="SheepShooter, post: 201282, member: 11376"] Heat and energy in bullets... A pot of coffe has 2.000.000 Joule...!!! My .338 only has 7.000 Joule...:( Think of that... someone spill coffee over you and you get a wound channel 250 times bigger than the .338 would do...:eek: Thermal energy is only one form of energy... The difference between coffee and the .338 is that one is boiling the other is moving... The form we are most interested in is mechanical energy... 1 Joule is equal to lifting 0,1 kg up 1m or 1 pound up 9 inch... There is no temperature change when lifting up something... beside sweating ofcourse... but thats a other system... We want to get the tissue moving, not boiling... for the last we would need alot more energy... think of the last time you put something on the grill... a few thousand Joules to kill it... a few billions to warm it up... The system that conserves all energy in a deer/bullet-event is pretty big... it is not the internal of the deer only... something will leave the deer, not only the bullet... so we would have to count in the the grass behind it, where all the blood will fall and the hill that 'catches' the bullet... also everything between the shooter and the deer + the shooter himself... Like a sack of rice we must take the planet to conserve all energy in this event... better still the universe... And while we would have now 'conserved' all the energy for the event, for the deer in the system there is a loss as there is a loss to the bullet... [/QUOTE]
