You are right. But the math does not tell the full story. What determines damage to the target of a bullet is how much of the kinetic energy of that bullet is transferred to the target. That is the point that you math egg heads keep ignoring. In the real world, a high energy bullet that penetrates all the way trough a body can do less damage than a low energy bullet that dissipates all of its energy within the body.
You can weasel all you want, but it is clear from that quote that you don’t know ■■■■ about this topic. You are just Google searching and not comprehending what you read because you are ignorant of the terminology. It’s time for you to stop pretending.
High velocity bullets may make for a “cleaner path” through the body but are also known to cause cavitation effects that can cause damage “far” from the site of the wound.
Stated this earlier in the thread as well.
Stated that kinetic energy wasn’t all there was to it.
Yeah, Wildrose massively failed in his energy equation criticism centered around units. A bit surprising because I was under the impression that he worked in a lab or something like that.
The statement you bolded is absolutely correct, but if you read it carefully, it does NOT say that that is the description of ball ammo. Yes, the ammo usually fired from AR style rifles is ball ammo, but ball ammo is also commonly fired by most small arms and has been for more that 100 years. Ball ammo has been standard issue for the military since the Spanish - American War. Ball ammo refers to a type of bullet … the projectile … not the caliber.
When this silliness first came up, I suggest that you Google “ball ammo” and become knowledgeable … but obviously, you are committed to remaining ignorant and making a fool of yourself.
You quoted my exact words, but you got the meaning completely wrong. My words do NOT say that ball ammo is defined as a small caliber high velocity bullet, they say that the usual ammo used in an AR is ball ammunition … which it is. It is also the usual ammo used in many other rifles and hand guns. Google “ball ammo” … quit making a fool of yourself.
