Bug in "Calculate Muzzle Energy" dialogue

AndyTyro · Rookie Member Joined: Feb 21, 2014 Posts: 1

The result of the "Calculate Muzzle Energy" dialogue is shown with the title FPE ( foot pounds energy ) but the dialogue gives the result in JOULES not FPE as shown in the title.
Example:

Bullet weight: 40 grains
Muzzle Velocity: 1100 fps

Result shown as 145.74609 ( FPE ) but this is in JOULES not foot-pounds

145.74609 Joules = 107.25 foot pounds ( 2dp )

Good find, it got broken with a previous bug fix. I've fixed it and will push up a new version later tonight probably.

Thanks for reporting it!
