OK...

But, I thought we were thinking using Physics? ;)
To give an extreme example, according to this if I threw a .50 cal, it would
carry the same energy as a .22 shot from a gun?

Sorry, but energy relies *more* on velocity than mass (hence the
velocity-squared thingy in the equations we're not using...)
