SItka deer is right, the strawman runs strong in you. No surprise there, it's all you've got.
The short and long of it is B.C. never killed anything, velocity never killed anything, mass never killed anything and momentum never killed anything.
Destruction of vital function is what kills and that requires energy - energy that is transferred from the bullet to the target.
No one said BC or any of those ever killed anything. BC was down the list of my preferences for bullets.
But it's interesting that you left accuracy and shot placement off your list and tout "energy" as the one thing that matters. Because you can have all the energy you want but if you shoot an elk in the ass you won't likely recover it. Which is the objective of everything else that goes into it. Shot placement trumps energy but it's nowhere on your list. No surprise there either.
And it's telling that you believe the most important thing about BC is that it helps retain energy. Ask any knowledgeable shooter why BC is important and that's not the answer you'll get.
