Answer:

Unreasonable Question

Step-by-step explanation:

You appear to have either invented some numbers or possibly mislabeled them. With ballistics we don’t get bogged down with measuring “force” as we are concerned with actual ENERGY released.

An education is something we should be getting every day of our lives so rather than attempting to work out your answer I’ll take your hand on the mouse and lead you to knowledge via this link - How to Calculate Bullet Impact

You might well want to calculate the Hornady Index of Terminal Standards (HITS) value and compare.
