The important paramenter of a rifle is muzzle energy and nobody cares about momentum as it is the energy that causes the damage and momentum has little to do with it, creackpot. Further, muzzle energy in a rifle is determined by the ammunition and not the rifle itslelf, crackpot. > However a rifle bullet even with much less momentum can do extreme > damage as great pressures are involved on impact. Imagine a rifle that fires a 100,000 pound projectile at 0.1 feet/sec; at impact the projectile would mearly push something away doing little to no damage, crackpot. <snip remaining babble>
