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.
