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?

Please stop telling me what to do it smacks of arrogance and that is a no no on forums.
That formula is the closest thing we have in airsoft to shedding some light on this issue. Again it doesn’t matter if there is penetration or not. It doesn’t matter if the bb rebounds back.
What interests us is the correlation on either side of that formula.
AND it is not difficult to use that formula to derive one that is more in tune to our application. Then it would need to be proved/disproved.
