Formula for Muzzle Energy?
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!!

Never mind guys! Those free ballistics programs listed in another thread do what I wanted, so I don't need to write my own. [Smile]

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

velocity time velocity divided by 450800. Use any calculator.

velosity X velosity X bullet weight divied by 450240 = energy
