There’s failures discussed in the thread if you look. The article that you linked to uses the age old ‘ftlbs of energy’ fable as the basis to prove his point. Energy doesn’t kill animals, tissue destruction does and that is all about the correct projectile DESIGN and impact velocity.

Case in point, a cricket ball thrown at a deer has the same energy that a .303 bullet does, sure as shit won’t kill it.
