True but your original point was "Kinetic energy is based on velocity not mass."
Impact energy increases linearly with mass but quadratically with velocity
Ergo, you can accelerate sand grains fast enough to crater a continent
.22lr still isnt making it through soft body armor
agreed
.22 routinely defeats soft armor though
sure, if you consider body armor to be cotton and leather
Not even kevlar or aramis
aramid
But Rofl, that isn't going to work for a handheld weapon system in this century.
think about it like this, 5.7 cannot defeat 3a most of the time
and it has higher sectional density and higher velocity than .22LR
The idea of a sand grain cratering a continent with velocity that is.
Actually Fire, if it wasn't for the atmosphere that'd happen regularly.
Well the atmosphere is here so that's a moot point huh?
Okay, which conversation am I on
And I said using a handheld weapon system not the power of gravity wells you ultranegger
Bukka did I address your point?
I'm off for the night. You lads have a good one.
no, there's really no other way to address it than you are wrong
sleep well
.22lr will not penetrate soft armor
Except for all the times it does in police service
except it doesn't?
Soft vests get shrek'd by basically everything
To the point where it's a reasonable question as to why they're produced at all
plenty of video evidence on youtube proving otherwise
lmao you mean the FMJ plinker loads firing at surplus plate?
Totally NIJ standards
think about it from a liability standpoint k?
theres tons of companies producing NIJ standard armor
which are rated for specific calibers
here, let me lok at NIJ 1010-06
if a cop is shot by said caliber
body armor standards as of 2008
wearing NIJ armor
that is supposed to stop it
would that not make a juicy case for a slam dunk lawsuit?
shush now little one
NIJ standards are here
