The Kinetic Energy stored in your weapon is what gives you the potential to do damage. Although it's not the only factor in doing damage, it is a nice stat that many builders like to brag about. To figure out the KE of your Weapon system, fill out the form below and it'll automatically calculate it for you!
The mass moment of inertia useful when calculating spin up time of your weapon, as well as the gyroscopic forces of the weapon.
