Given the same velocity, a lighter bullet has less kinetic energy. Thus, it appears energy is one factor, but not the only factor.Excaliber wrote:For example, given the same velocity, a lighter bullet will have less momentum and will thus lose velocity more quickly than a heavier bullet when it encounters resistance, thus delivering less penetration despite the same initial velocity and diameter.
