The stated example of 594 ft/lbs is fine when all goes well. But an animal can recover (enough to get away) from 600 lbs a lot easier than the old fashioned recommendation of 1000ft/lbs.

Based on? Is a rutting stag a relative of the marvel character Wolverine, that grows adamantium shoulder blades? Last time I cut a stags shoulder blade out, it was flexible and thin enough to see light through.

What does an energy figure actually tell you? A cricket ball thrown by hand has the same energy as a .303 projectile at the same range. Doesn’t kill things though…..
