    Does the slide absorb any significant amount of energy?

    The spring can’t be all that strong since they can be assembled by hand, and what does the slide weigh? (Granted the slide is being accelerated, so I assume that’s where the bulk of energy is dissipated, MV^2 and all).

    What’s the math on this, say the dissipated energy in a semi auto VS revolver using the same round?

    (Really I’m curious what the numbers are, as I’ve read this many times but have no idea what the comparison is like).
