    I'm hoping that there is very little loss of life even though it appears that there will be quite a few lives lost due to this tragedy.

    Well, of course it (momentum) does mean something, John—we agree!

    As SCCY Marshal pointed out, momentum (p) is nothing more than the mass (m) of an object multiplied by its velocity (v) and is the first derivative of kinetic energy—a quantity that was first...

    It is encouraging to see that Lucky Gunner seems to be using shear-validated 10% ordnance gelatin. It would be nice to see them depart from the use of the Clear Ballistics goo and actually do their...

    I've had the same thoughts.

    It would seem that domestic ammunition manufacturers have nearly eliminated the practice of publishing their 10% ordnance gelatin data for public consumption. What...
