    i believe that the difference comes from the amount of energy that extra momentum allows the projectile to impart on the target.
    Ah, but the energy is the same for each bb (1 joule) so no difference there :-)

    10% additional impact energy is still significantly more.
    As OzCam pointed out, human perception is lograthmic. You need to increase the momentum by 2 or 3 times before most people will notice.

    It's not the initial flame that burns you, it's the lenght of time it remains there. Even then the pain receptors may feel a tingle or a burning sensation. Only a fool would stick their hand into a flame.

    Getting back to the BB question.

    In my experience heavier bb's do hurt more. I'd rather get hit by a 0.12 then a 0.33. 0.12's bounce back, 0.33's don't.

    Pain is temporary.
    Bones mend.

    And glory lasts forever.

    ""Someone who has been drinking a lot of
    caffiene
    and has been "in combat" for a while is likely to exhibit a greater propensity to ignore strikes simply because they cant feel them. the secretion of adrenaline and other chemical into the bloodstream has a peciluar effect o nthe brain. It somewhat switches off pain processing (temporarily) and has been known to allow people to continue operating even while horribly wounded. BB stikes by comparrisson wouldnt even register.""

    I'm going to apologise to everyone....this segment snip from Hives always itneresting posts, has firmly instilled in me, that I'm a filthy dirty cheater :D

    As someone who regularly goes through 4 cans of red "heart attack" bull a skirmish ( or the infamous 14 in wales) I have to say I still feel hits. Granted they don't hurt, and it makes me angry and I find solo holding an m16 rather easy, I still feel hits.

    It would be pretty funny if I was actually a horrendous cheater and genuinely didnt know, and you guys just never said anything to me...I'm kinda spooked now

    the energy is the same yes, but the momentum of the heavier projectile is greater (whilst the velocity is lower) - therefore it is harder to deflect and transfers more of that same amount of carried energy to the target - hence, you feel the impact more. :-)

    That would be the "Double-Tap", developed by the SAS

    Credit actually goes to two British Police chiefs in Shanghai during the 1930s.

    The double tap ("controlled pair" if you're a yank) is good for movies but in reality the SAS or anyone else will use whatever number of rounds it takes to stop a target. You don't take chances, you stop shooting when the target stops moving :)

    Short bursts probably offer you the best balance of accuracy and stopping power.
