Further more quotes for The Cole Protocol-"Took off the Innies left leg with a single shot...bubbling concrete on the roof." and "and finally keyes took off his head with a single shot."

By the stats, even though it was shot in the leg, it was still hot enough to boil the concrete roof at the top. Judging by that, it is defintley not 20 kilojoules, and must be much higher then that to achieve such heat and energy. If I am being generous 150 kilojoules would be pure minimum if the shot only vapourise the lower half of the leg, instead of the entire limb.

Furthermore Covie Plasma weaponary are not explody and more...burny. So you must also take in account of the heat too instead of just the explosion.
