[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 694961, member: 9172"] A baseball weighs between 5 and 5.25 oz....lets say 5.25 That is 2296 grains(7000 gr per lb divided by 16 oz in a pound x 5.25 oz). Lets say he is a major leage pitcher....thats a 90 MPH fast ball. Now it won't be going 90 when it hits the target..ah...er....batter, but lets say it still is 90 MPH. That is 132 FPS. (90 miles x 5,280 feet in a mile divided by 3600 seconds in an hour) = 132 FPS. plug that into a balistic calculator and puff..........88.8 foot pounds of energy. Hardly 10 x the energy of a bullet hitting at 200!! Unless my math is wrong.....lightbulb Just sayin. [/QUOTE]
