Energy and .50cal

Just out of curiosity I checked up on the ft lbs for a Barret .50cal sniper rifle

a .68 paintball at 280fps hits you with 8.1 ft lbs which can be quite paintfull

A Barret .50cal sniper rifle hits you with upto 15,000ft lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that would leave a bruise.

"Am I bleedin'?" Yup a bleeding idiot for shooting into those hills. They look like course grit / rock - penetration chances slim. Lucky for him it bounced of the ground slowing it down and he was wearing ear defenders. Could you imagine if it hadn't slowed - it probably would have gone straight through! Nice find Bolter.
