<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>This all said, I WILL agree that KE is the MAJOR factor in penetration......but not the only. Velocity MUST be added to the equasion.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote>
Question- How &quot;MUST Velocity be added to the equasion&quot; when velocity is a component of the equasion?
Ke = Weight in grains x Velociy in Feet per second squared / 450240
(equasion for the Norb article)

Not an flame, just trying to figure out this statement and what you mean by it.
