You can argue and stomp and say what you like but facts are facts. A 22 rifle bullet can travel over a mile....how far do you think the effective killing range is?
Again, here is exactly what you said. You said its a fact of physics that a arrowgun bolt loses energy faster than a compound bow arrow. This is dead freakin wrong.
After a bolt or arrow leaves, it doesn't matter anymore. After it leaves the string, it cannot accelerate any further. No matter if the arrow gun has a stroke of 30" or 7", if both launch at 300fps, the freakin bolt ain't going get faster. The forces are strickly negative and only dependent on the bullistic coef, (drag with momentum). Only thing the power stroke does is gets the arrow or bolt up to launch speeds. Thats freakin it.
You know I hate to be rude, but are a waste of time. I mean freakin kids know this crap.
