dominatrix energy.
The energy isn't based strictly on the size of the bullet. It's also the velocity. The formula for bullet energy involves squaring velocity, so velocity winds up far more consequential than bullet mass. Rifles can have muzzle velocities well over 3,000 fps... well over twice what you'd get from, say, a 357 magnum revolver.
The formula, in imperial units, is that bullet energy, in foot-pounds, equals bullet weight in grains times the square of bullet velocity in feet per minute, divided by 450,437. So, if you have a 60 gr bullet going 1,500 fps, that's about 300 foot-pounds of energy. If you have a 30 gr bullet going 3,000 fps, that's about 600 foot-pounds of energy. You doubled the speed, halved the mass, and came away with twice the power.
That's a huge consideration with these high-power rifles -- they may be firing small bullets, but they're firing them at incredible velocities, such that they're imparting an enormous amount of energy.

It's about foot pounds of energy presumptuous expert
He claimed that a .9 mm would blow pout your lungs.
It's about foot pounds of energy presumptuous expert. A .308 has a lower muzzle velocity but higher energy at impact. Leftists know nothing about weapons or the ballistics. They just see a scary rifle and freak out.
ALL rifles are high powered. Most higher caliber rifles, which don't seem to concern dipshits in the Democratic Party of the Jackass, can cause far more damage than a .22 bullet. Which is why they don't allow you to hunt with them.
So what is your point presumptuous dipshit? Do you believe that Biden or Democrats in the House have the slightest clue about weapons? Biden's latest foray was, again, moronic. He claimed that a .9 mm would blow pout your lungs. Want to see how dumb? Watch the video.
Joe Biden – Buy a shotgun
I wouldn't call myself an expert.

... just someone who knows more about the topic than you do, but it's not like that takes much.

If you take a 9mm hollow point in the chest, it can, in fact, do massive damage to the lungs

Truth Deflector- you're a self-styled expert-
Are there any guns for sale that actually look like a penis extension ?
Haw, haw..................................haw.

Have you ever bothered to fire a weapon? Loaded ammunition and know about their ballistics?
There are far more lethal calibers one can use.
Much like the obsession with the 5.56mm bullet.
Of course I have. Wingnuts have this tendency to imagine that experience with guns is some sort of rare thing that only the Conservative Elect have. I'm an American for God's sake. We have more guns than people. Of course I've fired guns, and loaded them. And, as I just schooled you in the subject of ballistics, you KNOW I know about them.
Of course. If I had the choice of being hit by a 9mm or a 50-caliber bullet, I'd go for the former, assuming matching velocities. But the point the ignorant wingnuts missed, when they dismissed the idea that smaller caliber weapons can still be high-powered, is that the amount of power involved depends exponentially more on velocity than on mass. Twice the velocity and half the mass can still give you twice the force at impact.
If we were obsessed with that bullet, would this be the first time we were broaching the topic? Obsession should be made of sterner stuff.
Look, I get it: you were ignorant of how ballistics work, and it hurt your feelings to be schooled in the topic. But just suck it up and deal. You're less ignorant that you were this morning. You're welcome.

....self appointed expert....
Again, I haven't claimed any expertise on the subject.
It's just that I know the really basic stuff, and you don't, which is why I seem to you to be so much more of an expert on the topic.

.... Not to mention your complete inability to relate to or stay on the tropic.
But it is apparent that you have a very high, misplaced opinion of yourself....
Indeed.Your smarmy opinionated claims appear to be just that. Not to mention your complete inability to relate to or stay on the tropic.
Apparently your lack of reading comprehension prevents you from knowing much of anything. But it is apparent that you have a very high, misplaced opinion of yourself and cannot follow topics or countering opinions and arguments you don't like.![]()
Cancer or Capricorn?

No. I have a pretty neutral opinion of myself. It only looks high from your perspective since you suffer from a pathological level of self loathing. Anyone who doesn't outright hate herself looks downright arrogant in comparison.

Indeed.
The morbidly misguided, politically, child and recent high school graduate was never taught about bearing false witness.
“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” This Commandment is recorded in Exodus 20:19 and Deuteronomy 5:20. It is typically understood as a command not to tell lies. Yet the power and rich meaning of this simple commandment reaches far beyond the simple admonition to tell the truth.
It appears that she wasn't taught much od anything.![]()
I'm neither presumptuous fool. What has this got to do with the topic?![]()
She appears to hate the military, posting a thread about military propaganda.
The military is the only group standing between the head-choppers and Americans...like her.

You are the one who brought up staying on the tropic. I'm just trying to identify which one.
