So plainful clear to me, it followed as the night the day.

[…] I saw Arnoldi at Dettelbach, standing unhurt amongst the lances and swords, which flashed and glittered around him like lightning; the thunder-boxes peppering away all the while as if it snowed lead; and when the pastime (for it was nothing else to him) was over, there he stood leaning on his halbert, coolly shaking out the bullets, which rattled like peas from his breeches and doublet.

It was the stroke that broke the camel's back and Rizal broke down in tears.

The total impulse from the impact will depend on the kinetic energy of the projectile.
