[QUOTE="OldElkHunter1961, post: 2458220, member: 121205"] Testy today. Me thinks some might need a nap? E will always equal M times C squared. What that chosen mass does under the influence of the squared velocity is determined by myriad factors. Shape, composition and what it struck are three that bear on terminal ballistics. One size seldom fits most. Consider a .429" 240 grain Keith bullet hitting an elk one hundred yards distance at ~1000 fps vs a .277" SGK at 2900 fps at the same 100 yards. One punches through both lungs largely unchanged in shape, the other nearly doubles it's size doing the same thing. Is there a meaningful, measurable difference in the outcome? Now consider an arrow launched from a compound bow loosed at ~300 fps passing through those same lungs at a nominal 60 yards. Different weights, velocities, shapes and compositions. All producing the same result. Who can explain the differences, if one exists in the real functional world as these projectiles are employed within their weapon systems capabilities? [/QUOTE]
