[QUOTE="mechengr, post: 1235451, member: 75894"] Best response I've seen yet. Especially the bolded bits! Thanks for chiming in. After browsing the terminal ballistics research linked a few pages back, I noticed the same recurring theme: bullet construction is absolutely key. Tied in closely with bullet mass, impact velocity, and shot placement (can be dictated by bullet construction), these characteristics are indeed sufficient to "quantify" the energy (kinetic energy), as well as it's "quality" or "character" as described in the quote below, from section III. A. iii. of that ballistic research: 'The character of the work done by a certain quantity of kinetic energy will be dependent upon the mass, construction and velocity of the projectile.' [/QUOTE]
