The applicable equation is force not kinetic energy.

I will leave you to calculate which combination exhibits more force on the downwind object genious

Replace / with @ then you'll get it

Deceleration is a constant function of the friction factor between the two objects

So, you don't understand symbolic conventions, calculus, or physics. I see.

What if the function is not constant over time? What if the medium in not uniform, changes on impact, or is elastic? What if the deceleration is almost instantaneous?

your assertion about projectile velocity means zero when at close range like in these most recent shootings - shooting across a football field isn't being discussed. also, odds are one would be hit with more than one ball of the 00 buck at close range.

And yet again you are wrong. As I said before, the high velocity projectile creates a wide cone of destruction when it strikes, the lower velocity one does not. Velocity matters a lot. Many more people survive one or two hits from a handgun than from an assault rifle. No children at Sandy Hook who were hit survived! In addition, high velocity projectiles have far greater potential to have lethal consequences for unintended targets well beyond the range of the intended target. Taking a full load of 00 at close range might be similar to a single high velocity round in damage done, I will give you that much. Otherwise you are wrong!

I cut the image in the reply cause I know it's gonna get nuked. You should be ashamed of yourself, but thank you very much

If you want to just say keep guns away from the crazies then it falls on you to propose a mechanism that would be both constitutional and effective. You have not done so.

Mentally ill people voting is far less a threat than them having weapons. But based on some of the unhinged rantings at tea-party rallies I think liberals might gain from your proposal!

How many Tea party rallies have you been to. I know they say crazy things like balance the budget cut spending lower taxes , follow the constitution.. Yup really crazy ideas.

something i find out throughout all of this discussion about "assault weapons" and so on - people are up in arms (pun intended) about the AR, claiming it's the weapon of choice for mass shootings. it may be for the uninformed, both to use and pitch a fit about.

here's something to consider: the 12 gauge shotgun loaded with 00 buckshot. this more than a century old firearm packs more firepower than the AR with a 30 round magazine.

first - 00 buckshot. there's usually 9 of these in a shell. that's 9 .33 caliber balls. each weighs (in this example, copper plated ones) in at 50 grains.

for comparison, the AR fires a 5.56 bullet that weighs 55 grains.

a shotgun can, with one pull of the trigger, send downrange 1.5 times the same number of projectiles held by a .32 revolver (.32 revolver fires a 85 grain bullet). if one wants to calculate the per grain weight of the projectile, that's equal to just over 8 rounds of AR ammo. most shotguns hold 5 rounds, so that's more firepower than an AR with a 30 round magazine.

and yes, there are shotguns out there that are magazine fed.

lesson concluded.

eta: Leon Czolgosz used an Iver Johnson revolver in .32 S&W to shoot President William McKinley on September 6, 1901

And that has been my point in post after post. I have asked the assault weapons ban proponents to tell me why they are picking a weapon that produces less morbidity than most including knives, why they want it banned iso badly over the other firearms. I can't get one logical fact supported answer.

shotgun fired in the home tends to make a home repair nightmare.

Assault weapon fired horizontally in your home is your neighbor's nightmare!

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

But it is an easily available non assault weapon that could do just as much if not more damage than an assault rifle. If I'm defending my home, I'll probably chose the 12 gauge over the AR or HK, etc.

I'd hit it anyway.

I have said it many times, That is why my Mossberg my first weapon available in my bedroom , first round is bird shot in case I make an error, next 6 are 00 buck. This weapon would not be banned by the assault weapon ban proponents.

P.S so not a dude... Wood also

Birther nonsense.

But it is much safer because it is less likely to penetrate multiple walls and kill innocents or even carry into the neighbors home

I guess you don't know how projectile velocity is related to 'power'! Even a very small projectile can take down large game if it could be accelerated enough. Some 'star wars' weapons being developed and brought on line use this principle to fire 'BB's at extremely high velocities to take down enemy ICBM's! Shotguns are low velocity weapons, as are most handguns. The AR 15 is a high velocity weapon. While the hole in a person may be small there is a wide cone of devitalized (dead) tissue along its path. With low velocity weapons that is not the case.

You don't have a clue what your talking about .. Sorry

Bingo....... Deformity of the round to put it simply is the key .. Male hole in... large hole out . Hard stuff to penetrate, soft stuff to cause massive damage

How many GSW's have you cared for? What is your background with educational courses like the military's Combat Casualty Care Course or Battlefield Medicine?
