1: 44 grams, 97 fps, 19 joules. no serious damage to skull. 32mm long

2. 44 grams, 117 fps, 28 joules. full penetration into the skull and brain matter. 31mm long

3. 44 grams, 153 fps, 48 joules. throw was off to the side of the radar, so realistically the speed should be higher but we'll just use this as a definite.32 mm long

I figured this could go here as well because of the energy knowledge. At some point, once I have gathered some more data, I want to write down a certain outline for what projectiles need to be moving at various speeds in order to be effective/lethal.
