[QUOTE="Goldengun, post: 2460610, member: 109636"] 3000(fps) x 3000(fps) x 150(gr) = 1,350,000,000(before conversion) or roughly 2,997 ft. lbs. 2900(fps) x 2900(fps) x 160(gr) = 1,345,600,000(before conversion) or roughly 2,988 ft. lbs. Based on this overly simple example I don't think there is much difference (neither being more important than the other) if any between velocity and mass as its overall impact to energy. This difference doesn't account for the value relationship between velocity/energy as compared to the value relationship between mass/energy. What is obvious to us all is there is a counter-balance relationship between velocity and mass, as one goes up and the other down, energy can remain the same, if the correct relationship is maintained. I don't know what the correct relationship is. If we have the correct values of velocity and mass as they relate to the energy equation will the counterbalance always be equally offset (meaning velocity and mass have an equal bearing on energy output).??? Keep in mind I failed algebra in high school and the "first" time I took it in college!!;) [/QUOTE]
