    There’s 470 joules of energy in a 9mm. That’s 0.1 kcal, i.e. you need approx. 666 mp5 mag dumps for your daily energy expenditure.

      This math does not feel correct. Are you sure you are not confusing a kilocalorie of energy with a thousand NUTRITIONAL calories, which is iirc a thousand times less energetic?
