Foot pounds in muzzle energy refers to the amount of energy expended during the exiting of the projectile from the end of the barrel (muzzle). This foot pounds will vary depending on the grain weight of the round in question, the caliper of the round being fired, the length of the barrel, whether you have a head wind or a tail wind. In other words it is what pushes the projectile from your gun towards your intended or unintended target.

How many foot pounds of energy are equivalent to 195 j?

To convert joules to foot-pounds of energy, you can use the conversion factor of 1 joule = 0.7376 foot-pounds. Therefore, 195 joules is equivalent to approximately 143.77 foot-pounds of energy.


Who is more powerful magnum 357 or caliber 45?

"Powerful" is subjective. The .357 commonly has a velocity of somewhere between 1000 and 1500 feet per second and muzzle energy between 450 and 600 foot pounds. The .45 ranges from a little over 800 to about 1100 feet per second and muzzle energy between 350 and 550 foot pounds (all those numbers are appoximate), so it depends on which specific cartridges you compare.

What is the smallest caliber rifle legal for deer hunting in South Dakota?

South Dakota does not use caliber, but requires a minimum energy. Copied from the home page of the SD Game regulations:Deer and Antelope - Shoulder-held firearms using ammunition factory-rated to produce at least 1,000 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle and handguns using ammunition that is factory rated to produce at least 500 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle, may be used to hunt deer and antelope. Only soft-point or expanding bullets are permitted.A .223 or larger cartridge will meet that standard. .22 Rimfire will not.


Is foot-pounds a unit of acceleration?

No, foot-pounds is not a unit of acceleration. Foot-pounds is a unit of energy or work, which is a product of force and distance. Acceleration is measured in units such as meters per second squared (m/s^2) or feet per second squared (ft/s^2).


What is 102000 nm converted to foot pounds?

102000 nanometers is a unit of length, not energy. To convert nanometers to feet, you would need to divide 102000 by 304,800, which is the number of nanometers in a foot. To convert to foot-pounds, you would need to know the energy value associated with this length measurement, which would depend on the context.
