Geez not this again...
..... the physics of energy transfer leaves my eyes glazed over.i haven't looked at an energy table in years......
The mechanics don't.
Energy figures don't take into account the expansion characteristics of the bullet,which will vary with its construction(wide or narrow expansion,penetration,etc),velocity level at impact,and the part of the animal it strikes(ribs, lungs, shoulder bones muscles etc),all of which in the aggragate determine the size and nature of the wound channel.Its a different discussion for every single hit due to all the variables involved.
I fail to see how the bullet being stopped against the off side rubbery hide,somehow makes it a better killer than the one that punches an exit hole;or vice versa... so long as the vitals are scrambled in the process.
Let the games begin! Popcorn?
