Yep, Delta you're right... Ft-lbs really isn't a measuring stick for ammo performance on live game or for self-defense. If a .22 can nearly measure up to a .38 in energy production then our instinct really should take over to say that this figure doesn't necessarily give a good measure of terminal performance.
