I'm also a fan of the G3A3, (sorry can't find the current producer, i remember seeing a subcontractor selling it far below the justin aquinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191474595831304520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361417188517879449.post-91556093269304195122012-11-06T23:04:18.525+08:002012-11-06T23:04:18.525+08:00@Justin: do you have muzzle velocities for the rif...@Justin: do you have muzzle velocities for the rifles in question? Since kinetic energy varies by velocity, I think that would be a good tell if GURPS is close.<br /><br />@DeadGod: GURPS models that with the optional rule capping the damage you can do to a certain body part. But you still need to account for the kinetic energy change so other things (armor and 1/2D to name two) work out Granger44https://www.blogger.com/profile/18310421413290986780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361417188517879449.post-82176657118041068852012-11-06T22:22:14.237+08:002012-11-06T22:22:14.237+08:00As I understand it, an extremely fast-moving bulle...As I understand it, an extremely fast-moving bullet actually expends less energy in the target, disrupting less tissue. In other words, past a certain velocity, you actually lose damage capacity. I believe this is the concept seen in hollow point bullets--where the projectile is designed to slow itself down and spend more energy inside the target.DeadGodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176788130096529847noreply@blogger.com
