Except when talking guns mass is usually in grains (7000 per pound) and you are working in feet per second, and the NRG value is expressed in ft-lbs so there is a bit of unit conversion math involved before you can run the three multiplication operations.

My pump crossman pistol certainly outperformed my crossman CO2 pistol *unless* it was a hot day and the CO2 cartridge was fresh (first 20 or so shots)
it would monitor gas pressure, allowed dial-a-velocity, auto-adjusted scope drop based on bullet weight/BC and velocity, was suppressed, etc.
Whatcha talkin 'bout Willis?
