I keep finding (and losing [Frown] ) this, but does anyone have the formula for calculating muzzle engergy given bullet weight/velocity?

What about recoil energy?

Thanks in advance!!

And after I spent five minutes working on it too [Wink]

velocity time velocity divided by 450800. Use any calculator.
