[QUOTE="jbriggs444, post: 6421287, member: 422467"] I think that this over-idealizes the situation. [I've cast the problem as two men rather than a man and a weapon. It is easier to refer to body parts and is pleasantly symmetric] In a completely inelastic collision of one man's hand on another man's hand, the hands will come to relative rest, but not necessarily the men. One can calculate the impulse that is required to deliver enough combined linear and angular velocity change on each man so that the two hands each come to relative rest. One can then calculate the resulting change in linear and rotational energy for each man. [/QUOTE]
