What is the updated AP value of crushing a human skull?

3,002
1,082
The References for Common Feats page still has it at 9-B, but I'm aware this was changed to 9-C. Is there a new calc with an exact value?
 
I'll just copypaste what I wrote down as the accepted yield here:

Here's my proposal for a draft to the skull-crushing section.

"Skulls have been easily destroyed before by large caliber rounds varying from 12-gauge shotgun slugs, .500 S&W Magnum hollow-point rounds and .308 Winchester-slash-7.62x51mm NATO rounds, all of which have muzzle energies at around 3000-3700 joules (Street level), with such damage being even possible with several types of elephant gun rounds. If one were to crush a skull with their bare hands, they would need to produce at least 500 kilograms of force, which is Class 1 lifting strength"

Does this work? Should I also add links to the calibers and give the MMA link where a 1100 J punch doesn't do much to the skull at all? And the curbstomp reference?
