    As was mentioned before I think, energy ftlbs, joules etc isnt the full story its how that energy is dissipated on impact, either instantly as a big explody skin pop, or in a controlled fashion as the bullet travels through the target. So bullet design is a vital component in how far you can shoot as well.
    veitnamcam, gadgetman and chainsaw like this.
