That looks right.
BTW, paintballs don't have much energy compared to bullets.

Yes, a .68 PAINTBALL does travel at 300fps, and plenty of "lethal" bullets travel at 500fps, but the bullet is obviously much more heavy, and therefore has much more energy.

paintball: 10 lbs of force
.17 pellets: 15 lbs of force
38-special: 250 lbs of force
45 ACP: 356 lbs of force
9MM: 380 lbs of force
454 Casull: 1000 lbs of force
etc
