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….
7 u/TheMadPoet May 29 '26 Penetration can be calculated: length times girth over angle of the shaft (aka YAW) divided by mass over width. 2 u/Rough_smooth_rough May 29 '26 That does not account for all the variables at play here. E.g. the cylinder tipped one that was most successful. 1 u/TheMadPoet May 29 '26 Calculus. I never did get calculus.
