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.

When calculating force what units do you use?
Force is measured in foot-pounds or newton-meters.AnswerIt depends on the force being measured. As mentioned above foot pounds (and inch pounds) are used to measure torque. Horsepower is a force measurement. MPH measures wind force. Then there's pounds per square foot (or square inch), etc. AnswerForce is not measured using foot-pounds or newton-meters. Both of those units are used for calculating work. Force is measured using newtons in the metric system, or Lbf in the English system. Horsepower is a power measurement, MPH is a velocity and pounds per square foot (or PSI) is a pressure or stress unit.
