The data for the spudgun vs handgun comparison is as follows:

.45ACP
Velocity: 850fps = 259m/s
Mass: 15g
Momentum: 259m/s*15g = 3885 g m/s

Golf Ball
Velocity: 131fps = 40m/s
Mass: 45g
Momentum: 40m/s*45g = 1800 g m/s

1800 g m/s
——————– = .4633 = 46.33% as much momentum
3885 g m/s

If you have trouble watching the videos, get the K-Lite Codec Pack from
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm. The Basic one is enough to play them.

Hot damn. You should have tried to hit some targets something like that. It would be really fun in an open field……or shooting at Tom.
