I was 100% correct in my assumptions about penetration length after looking at the head but before it hit the shield except for that cylinder tip… that thing shot through like a bullet….
6 u/TheMadPoet May 29 '26 Penetration can be calculated: length times girth over angle of the shaft (aka YAW) divided by mass over width. 5 u/Washingtonevergreen May 29 '26 Yeah, but do we measure from the base or the balls? 2 u/TheMadPoet May 29 '26 We square the distance between the balls and base, then measure base to tip to find the length.
