Energy Needed To Knock A Huge Statue By Shooting It

Feat happens at around 13:39 seconds. See here for a direct link.

Context: Within the Analog Horror series The Monument Mythos, the Statue of Freedom that stands on top of the US Capitol Dome is actually alive and a serious killing machine that runs away hacking people with her giant sword. Me and a few other people are currently making profiles for the series and we came across this feat. Basically, during a riot on the Capitol, a group of extremists actually shoot the statue down. We can see in the video that we hear and see a few shots, and then the statue comes falling down. Of course it survives and then starts murdering the rioters like crazy.

I'm just wondering... What kind of weapon packs the power hit a 6,800 kg giant statue so hard it knocks it over. Like I'm actually serious, think about it. What kind of force is needed to do that. Regular firearms obviously don't pack the necessary punch. A Rocket Launcher? I honestly don't know.

Is this calculable in any way? I appreciate help.
 
Are you trying to know the durability of the statue by calculating the bullets that hit it? Because I think you could get a better result by looking for how hard it fell instead.

If you are only looking for the KE of the shots, then I think you could do the force (Newton = kilogram x meter/s^2 ) and then the work calculation (Joules/meter = Newtons x meters) then divide it by 3

Kinda hard to see how fast is moving after being shot tho. What is even the size of it?

It can scale to an 8-B character tbh I'm more just curious what kind of force is needed to even knock down the statue like that.

Is it possible to use a translation other than the English version to prove a minor exploit?
