Well, it's not solid chalk, if it even is chalk. It's a colored dry powder--probably actually talcum (talc)--encased in plastic and propelled at a maximum speed of 450 fps. That's less than a quarter of the speed of a real bullet.
So it's both a much lighter bullet. (Maybe someone else can find the math, but I'd say at least 1/10th the mass.) Flying at 1/4th the speed.
Conclusion?:
Please don't sling solid rocks made of chalk at people. They can hurt and kill.
