Based on the general equation for kinetic energy, Ek=½mv2, which directly uses mass (m) and velocity (v), the following formula is used to calculate the kinetic energy of a projectile (expressed in foot-pounds):

E=(W*V2)/(14000*gc).

In this formula, W = weight of projectile, in grains; V = velocity, in feet per second; gc= gravitational constant, 32.174 ft/s2x14000= (450436)

so you`d have 1434ft.lbs at the point 1895ft/s was measured

Still that`s like dropping an entire small car on a 1/4" point at speed, that`s one way of realizing the potential of a small object traveling really fast!! simply devastating.
