Was just watching MythBusters testing the "Shoot Em Up" merry-go-round myth. They used a Glock in 9mm, a S&W for .44 Magnum, and a 1911 for .45 ACP. When they listed the foot-pounds of each caliber, they listed the .45 as having 2000 foot pounds of energy. I used to have respect for that show.:upeyes:

They've admitted to errors in their calculations before.
The last example I remember was Jamie's claim that two cars colliding head on at 50 mph would be the same as one car colliding with a brick wall at 100 mph.
Nope...it's the same as one car colliding with a brick wall at 50 mph. They asserted it, viewers disputed it, they tested it, and admitted their error (the important aspect here).

If your 10mm cartridges only have 10,000 ft lbs of energy, y'all ain't handloadin' 'em right.
I think you might could have left off the exponent; you really meant 10,000e20, right?
:supergrin:
<--- loads 10mm so powerful that, when fired, they hit the Enterprise in the 24th century.
holy crap thats like having a extremely compact 308 hahahaha. maybe they meant to say inch pounds :dunno:
He used a 57 41mag since they couldn't get a new 29 in 44mag. Later, the gun used was switched to a 25 in 45ACP to help with blank loads.
