Default Some models included?

from about the 4:30 mark to about 6:00 min mark is a little bit of an eye opener to the extent of rifles possibly impacted in this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P09TxX1Kztc.

So what is the magic behind the 10K? I understand the just because part, but does it actually have any significance aside from being a yuge round number?

Because it killed the big bad 50. That’s it. I can guarantee that’s the only thing that was running through their minds.

I did a bit of research and you multiply foot pounds by 1.3 to get joules. Any cartridge that only makes 5000 foot pounds would be under the 10 000 joules mark.

Defeats armor.

Someone who travels in a state limo is uncomfortable in the western half of the country.
