Anything centerfire should do. Preferably 30cal, but you'd probably want to focus on a bullet type with a little better penetration if you used something 22cal like 556/545. You don't want to use varmint grenades or something.

What's wrong is that it makes no sense. Pounds is a unit of mass, not force. Make it Pounds accelerated by 9.81 m/s2 and you'd have a unit of force, but it would be a stupid unit of force.

Joules is the correct unit for Energy, or Newton Meters for work.

Typical American unit of time, of course you would use fucking inches to measure time. Because as is crystal clear and not at all arbitrary and stupid, you take a round honey wax candle with a diameter of 1 1/8 inches and burn it in a room with temperature of 50°F with humidity of 80%. The progress of melting wax gives you a pretty accurate unit of time. Why would you use fucking seconds or multiples of seconds to measure fucking time? Are you a sperg?

1 lbf = 1 lb * g which is what I wrote above, a very stupid unit of force.

1 lb = 0.45359237 kg

Pounds is a unit of mass. If you go to the butcher and say you want a pound of meat, are you expecting a certain amount of mass of meat, or being hit in the face with an undefined amount of meat, but in any case with 1 pount-force (lb*g)?

No fucknut foot pounds and pounds are different things, pounds (force) are actually called foot pounds and it means that this amount of force is equivalent to a certain amount of weight being applied. Also pounds is weight, you can't use mass in that statement because a slab of pork and a slab of beef might both weigh one pound at the butchers but because of density changes, they have different masses.

.50BMG at MINIMUM, preferrably out of a semiauto. People saying Fuddy aught six or 308 are overly optimistic, IMO. Using the same round as you would a 400lb animal against a nine TON animal is just retarded. It'd be like jabbing a human heart with a sewing needle and expecting a quick bleedout.

No its not moron.

Slugs is the Imperial unit of mass. Imperial is based on force, lb is force.

The reason it's used interchangeably is because on earth, gravity is fairly constant, at 32.2 ft/s^2. 1 slug = 14.6 kilograms FYI.
