Default RE: Does Kinetic Energy = Penetration?

Good point greg. I was thinking about that...that's what I always thought...once it starts...it is decelerating...but as to his question, I was looking at it as a 5 yard shot with 45lbs of KE vs a 40 yd shot with the same KE...I think the 5 yd shot would probably out penetrate the 40 yd shot(but obviously it wouldn't be out of the same setup) so I guess it's not really comparing apples to apples totally.
