paintballs travel up to 300 ft per second. Haven't seen anything worse than a welt yet.


Do paintballs weigh 1.7lbs?


Givens:
Speed of paintball = 300 feet per second (legal max)= 91.44 meters per second (m/s)
Speed of foam = 500 miles per hour = 223.52 m/s

Weight of paintball = 0.0035 kilograms (kg - and this is the legal maximum)
Weight of foam = 1.7 pound = 0.771107 kg (0.77111 kg rounded)

1 Joule (J) = 1 kg * m2/s2

Solving:
( 91.44 m/s )2 = 8,361.27 m2/s2
( 223.52 m/s )2 = 49,961.19 m2/s2

1/2 * 0.0035 kg = 0.00175 kg
1/2 * 0.771107 kg = 0.38555 kg

0.00175 kg * 8,361.27 m2/s2 = 14.632 kg * m2/s2
0.38555 kg * 49,961.19 m2/s2 = 19,262.537 kg * m2/s2

Conclusion:
A paintball has a kinetic energy of 14.632 Joules
The foam of doom has a kinetic energy of 19,262.537 Joules, over 1,000 times more.

FABIO, SHUT UP.
