[QUOTE="MTbackwoods, post: 1903815, member: 113441"] Don’t know why but I feel like a lightbulb just came on. I may have been viewing energy incorrectly all along. Energy is nothing more than a number representing an objects momentum. Momentum is necessary when it comes to bullets because it is a direct correlation to depth of penetration. So rather than viewing the kinetic energy of a bullet as a force to be transferred into the soft tissues, it should be viewed as the driving force for the penetration of the bullet. Right? But that feels partially incorrect to me [/QUOTE]
