Re: Strategy guide?
The SEBA link you posted doesn't work.
------------------
Assume you have a 1kg squirrel
E=mc^2
E=1kg(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 50 megaton nuclear bomb.
Fear the squirrel.

Re: Strategy guide?
Well, I guess no one has really written any kind of strategy guide. I considered but the scale of such an undertaking is vast. Plus as the patches come out the guide would have to be edited.

Re: Strategy guide?
Hey Spoo:
The formula you use in your sig is Einstein's famous formula. However, you're using it for two different things:
Nuclear Energy released by a mass
Kinetic Energy by a moving mass
I think thats two different things. It is energy, but it might not work the way you have it. (Unless I am forgetting some theorem from physics)

Re: Strategy guide?
Instar & Spoo
Well the kinetic energy imparted by impact of a projectile is a fairly common formula for those of us interested in terminal ballistics.
KE = MV^2
or
Kinetic energy is equal to Mass times (Velocity squared)
Einsteins famous formula (E=MC^2) is for the total conVersion of a mass to energy, as in nuclear warheads.

Re: Strategy guide?
Oh, yes, and as far as empirical data...
Having shot a fair number of ground squirrels, I can tell you they always come off second-best in a collision with an 80-grain projectile moving at roughly 3000fps  |
