    Force = mass x acceleration.
    So at the other end, when the projectile gets to the animal the mass is a given, but its the amount of deceleration still to be imparted and how much of that happens in the target that counts isn't it? Which is mostly down to the capacity of the projectile to do that (its construction) along with where the projectile hits.
    Moa Hunter and rewa like this.
