Cool Weapons

[footfootfoot]

Just for grins I ran some numbers using the Taylor Knock Out Factor formula comparing the .308, .22LR standard velocity, and a one ounce lead ball .75" dia. shot at an average speed of 75mph or 109fps

.308 = TKO of 18
.22 = TKO of 1
1oz sling = TKO of 5

But as you say, actually hitting the target would be a prerequisite.

Here's the chart form the article on TKO:

500gr .500 S&W, 1200fps =42.86
450gr .45-70, 1250fps =36.48
440gr .500 Linebaugh, 1200fps= 37.71
370gr .475 Linebaugh, 1400fps =35.15
325gr .480 Ruger, 1350fps =29.77
300gr .405 Win, 2000fps =34.71
260gr .454 Casull, 1800fps =30.22
255gr .38-55, 1650fps =22.84
240gr .44 Mag, 1350fps =19.86
230gr .45 ACP, 830fps =12.30
200gr .35 Rem, 2100fps =21.06
170gr 30-06, 2850fps =20.76
165gr .40 S&W, 1080fps =10.44
158gr .357 Mag, 1400fps =11.28
150gr .30-30, 2250fps =14.85
115gr 9mm, 1250fps =7.31
85gr .243, 2950fps =8.70
71gr .32acp, 900fps =2.83
55gr .223, 3300fps =5.78
50gr .25acp, 750fps =1.33
30gr .22LR, 1400fps =1.33
