I really really really don't want to start a range war here, but energy does not kill. Period.

Blood loss, shock and interruption of nerve signals kill. If energy killed, then arrows would be nonlethal instruments.

That bullet you put through a black bear's head destroyed his brain or caused massive blood loss. That's what killed him. It wouldn't have mattered if the bullet stayed inside his skull, or if it was STILL going today. That bear died right then and there.

And for any other animal, it matters not if a bullet goes through both lungs and stops under the offside skin, or if it flies one more inch and falls to the ground - that animal has a hole through its lungs and it is about to die. It also doesn't matter if the thing that went through was a bullet, an arrow, a spear or a Harley. That critter dies of hemmorhage not shock.
