"energy doesnt kill. Never has never will. Energy is a mathmatical theory"

All right you may whoop me on this one, but I have to respond anyway!lol Energy is real, but takes many forms. The quantification of it often involves mathematics. The sun creates energy in various forms. One form is light. Focus that light with a magnifying glass on a piece of paper and it'll manifest in an increase in heat. I don't even need math todetermine a change, I canobserve it. Focus thatenergywith the magnifying glass on the back of your hand and you can discern it without even seeing it.

I believe the theory is that we cannot create energy, just transform it. A rifle is fired, the powder is burned, tranforming the energy stored in the powder into the form of hot, rapidly expanding gasses. A good portion of that energy is transfered to a chunk of lead. Some of it is transfered (we call it lost) in transit, some remains with the bullet. When it impacts the animal, most (hopefully) of that energy is transfered to the the tissue of the animal--causing massive tissue damage in the process. The massive tissue damage killed the animal, but the transfer of energy caused the massive tissue damage. Maybe zrexpilot, we just differ in our definition of energy.
