[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 589699, member: 30671"] I didn't see that particular Mythbusters, but I pulled out my old Hatcher's Notebook , and reread the chapter on bullets from the sky. Conclusions at the time were: bullets returned at about 300fps, which gave the 150 grain bullets about 30 foot pounds. Army testing at that point had concluded 60 foot pounds was required for a disabling wound. At some point a bullet gets heavy enough to be lethal, but I'm also not in a mathematical frame of mind.
