However, based on the velocity of the fragment, and friction offered by the armor, the sharp edges are © Woodhead Publishing Limited, 2006 52 Lightweight ballistic composites slightly blunted. Limited damage of such fragments can be assessed with a magnifying glass. The weight and velocity of projectiles are the key elements responsible for the kinetic energy associated with the bullet or fragment. The kinetic energy (KE) associated is represented as: KE ˆ 12 mV 2 where m is the mass of the projectile and V is the speed of projectile.
