A heavy brick is better unless you're Super Mario then you probably prefer a light one.
Light loads at hyper fast speeds are generally better at killing game because they deliver higher velocity and energy upon impact, causing more damage to the target. Heavier loads at slow speeds may not penetrate as effectively or create as much tissue damage.
Newton's Law- for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the bullet is pushed forward out of the barrel, then the gun is pushed back by an equal amount. That is recoil, or "kick". The amount is based on the weight and speed of the bullet, and the weight of the gun. All things being equal, a light bullet kicks less than a heavy bullet, and a heavy gun kicks less than a lighweight gun.
Recoil is the equal and opposite of the force driving the bullet. A heavier gun is a greater mass to be moved by that recoil.
SILVER BULLET
it is impossible to fire a bullet a the speed of light
Light. Heavy armor might get in the way and weigh you down. Light is much more attractive of course ;). Heavy armor does offer a lot of benefits though.
Dad installed a light in the basement so he could see better when he works on his projects. Bricks are heavy and feathers are light.
* The speed of light in a vacuum, * The speed of sound,
Another word for "light" as in not heavy is "lightweight."
The opposite of heavy is light.
Equal and opposite reaction. With a heavier firearm, recoil is trying to overcome the greater inertia of a heavier mass.
