Easy, a non-penetrating impact (where the BB bounces off the skin) has entirely different physics than a penetrating impact (where the BB enters the body and tears flesh.)
If we consider a penetrating wound to be entirely inelastic (meaning that all of the kinetic energy of the BB is expended moving and tearing flesh), then the Ed = Cv * V makes perfect sense. If the BB is somewhat elastic and bounces off the skin, it still retains significant energy that was not transferred to wounding, which that formula has no terms for. Please don't misapply the equation as LL has in their study.
Also, Easy, what is your motivation in this discussion? Are you just a fan of Bioval? Are you an employee?
