In a side-by-side comparison with the .50 BMG (43 g), the 15 gr (1 g) titanium round of any caliber released almost 2.8 times the energy of the .50 BMG (1 g at 10 000 m/s = 50 000 joules), with only a 27% mean loss in momentum. Energy, in most cases, is what is lethal to the target, not momentum. [8]

This bullet has since exhibited dynamic stability problems and is ...
