[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2835511, member: 75451"] I just think that the ft/pounds of energy is over used or emphasized…..especially with handguns. I’ve shot several game animal, at fairly close range ……the animal showing no immediate indication of a hit. One in particular, an elk standing broadside @ around 40 yards (max), hit behind the shoulder, absorbed approximately 5100 ft/lbs. energy …..the elk showed absolutely no sign of being hit. I was stunned, took a few seconds to regain composure and reload…..about the same time the elk collapsed! It seems that if ft/lbs energy were a significant measure of killing efficiency…..that elk should have at the very least honored me with a bit of a stagger at the time of impact! 😉😁 memtb [/QUOTE]
