Assuming that the player can carry a Barret 50c without trouble (note that 50c weighs 30 pounds) with a reduced bomb disposal suit (let's give it a good 60 pounds), let's assume that the player can swing a 60 pound metal stick (since the bomb suit is affecting the whole body, not just the arms) at 25mph (professional golfer arm swinging speed). If we count the force at the near-edge of the stick, the long range part of the stick is probably moving at like 50 mph or so. Plugging it in a kinetic energy calculator (1/2mass*velocity^2) gives us ~6700J, which can be converted to ~6700N-m. At impact, the staff has approximatly 6700 newtons of force, which is ~3-4x the amount of force required to decapitate a head (2000N). My math is most likely wrong, but if my calculations are right, the staff's 135 damage makes sense. Thanks. If these seems unbalanced gameplay wise perhaps I could lower damage for headshot, trip, or push?
