The kinetic energy of a 16 gram .44 round is 1036.8 Joules. For example, it is possible to match the kinetic energy of a .44 magnum with an 8 kg stone thrown 26.45 meters, or a 4 kg stone thrown 52.9 meters. It becomes increasingly difficult with smaller stones. For example, a 125 gram stone must be thrown hard enough to reach 1692.73 meters (about a mile). These estimations are made, assuming a 45\u00b0 launch angle, without taking wind resistance into account, using:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>velocity = \u221a(distance\u00b79.8\/sin(2\u00b7angle))<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joules = kg\u00b7m\/s<sup>2<\/sup>\/2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are some example throwing distances and slingstone masses that would require the same energy input as a .44 magnum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"> Meters  &nbsp; &nbsp;Kg <br>13224.49  0.016<br> 3385.47  0.063<br> 1692.73  0.125<br>  846.37  0.250<br>  423.18  0.500<br>  211.59  1.000<br>  105.80  2.000<br>   52.90  4.000<br>   26.45  8.000<br>   13.22 16.000<br>    6.61 32.000<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Spreadsheet:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/1drv.ms\/x\/c\/c6029ac4a57ae813\/EaLpSfQXNMxNum9U5CQYSg8BP3Njofky8LpKhtgWuUBBEw?e=zc1GWK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">velocity based on distance.xlsx<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"481\" height=\"289\" src=\"https:\/\/climatebinge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/climatebinge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image.png 481w, https:\/\/climatebinge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-300x180.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The comparison between the kinetic energy delivery of a sling and a .44 magnum hold true, so long as the slingstone is large enough.
