How many shots with a Luger does it take to kill a cow?

Kind of like having two Louisville Sluggers shot at you (same mass and velocity).... one with standard butt end, other with a sharpened, vampire killing, spear point. If struck in the abdomen with the blunt bat, you would certainly end up on your butt. If struck with the spear point, much energy is spent on friction and tissue disruption, and you may be left standing with Pinnochio's belly button.

I did my physics homework last night and discovered that the conservation of momentum is one of the BASIC physics principles (I must have been distracted in Ms. Diaz's classroom that day). Thanks for the lesson. I now possess a clear understanding of the differences between momentum and energy. I'll be taking my seat in the back of the short bus and leaving the area now <img border="0" alt="[bigbye]" title="" src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" /> .
