Stopping Power Calculation?

[CNBA3]

I found something interesting with how to calculate the term “Stopping Power” for certain things like Bullets, which is the factor on how to immobilize or incapacitate a target.

There is something called Taylor’s Knock-Out Factor, which is utilizing:

• Projectile Mass (Grams)
• Projectile Speed (Meters Per Second)
• Projectile diameter (Millimeters)

You would multiple each of them and then divide the result by 3505.55, you would then get the resulting factor. Though I need still to know what that factor would be in value.

EDIT: I found another calc with is simply turning Joules into Watts by dividing the former by time.

Thoughts?

Bump, an example of this is we could get the Durability of certain characters who barely survived certain attacks,

like Ichigo surviving Ulquiorra’s Cero?

From what I read in the article you could maybe consider it if what you are trying to do is specifically knock out an elephant with a shot to the head using something that both in nature and in stats approximately matches a regular bullet.
And even then it's doubtful (see criticism section).

Basically, I don't think the formula would have relevance in any scenario where you can't just use muzzle energy of a matching bullet instead.

Okay, what about the other calc that i put in the EDIT? Where you divide joules by time?

with the link above with Joules Divided by Seconds equal Watts would be more related to Stopping Power in physics which a charged particle is stopped by a medium, losing energy or kinetic energy.

I guess we could use the other Stopping Power definition still as a term for render combatants immobile or staggered or incapacitated.

We already do that for feats that take place more than a second.

It's not a new concept.

Okay, thank you for the information, it was hard to find something like that for Dura too.
