The energy of the bullet the moment it leaves the barrel. The weight of the bullet (in grains) times the velocity of the bullet squared (in feet per second) divided by 450130.33 equals energy in foot-pounds. In other words, Energy = (wt * V^2) / 450130.33
The energy of a bullet at the muzzle. See also Energy.
Measurement of the energy of a bullet (in foot-pounds) as it leaves the muzzle. Energy is a function of bullet velocity and bullet weight. The shorthand equation to determine muzzle energy is (bullet weight in grains) times (bullet velocity in feet per second) times (bullet velocity in feet per second) divided by 450,240. In physics, energy is the ability or capacity to do work or to produce change.
The energy, often measured in Foot-Pounds (ft/lb) that a projectile contains when it leaves the barrel of a gun.
Muzzle energy is the measurement of the kinetic energy of a bullet as it is expelled from the barrel of a firearm.
