Hi All,
Came across a video that tackles this old battleground. Give it a look and lets see if it sparks some discussion. If you search Youtube for Thesylvanshadow, he posted a practical video called Energy vs momentum Part 2. He uses a pcp airgun to explore velocity vs bullet mass with regards to penetration. It is an interesting concept because the airgun penetration was workable (5-10 inches) and he was able to adjust velocity and take some measurements.
So which do you pick for penetration -heavier bullet or higher velocity ?
