[1] Please spell my name correctly.
[2] And yes, our focus is handgun rounds. The focus of our discussions is self defense by private citizens, including the carrying of firearms by private citizens for self defense. That most commonly involves handguns.
[3] All the material I cited and quoted very clearly relates to handgun rounds.

[1] And that equation has absolutely nothing to do with the subject we are discussing, nor does it describe ballistic energy.
[2] That equation is useful do describe the energy produced in nuclear reactions when a small amount of matter is lost and is converted to energy.
[3] The factor "c" is not speed. It is rather the speed of light (roughly 186,000 miles/second). The speed of light is a common constant in many equations of physics, and the letter "c" is commonly used in physics equations to refer to the speed of light.

It is however my understanding that these bullets have very poor reputations for penetration. While they can make ghastly appearing superficial wounds, they sometimes do not adequately penetrate to major blood vessels or blood rich organs.
