its prey is to be calculated by the stylet's force divided by its area. Researchers have calculated an ejected mass of 1 nanogram, an acceleration of 5,410,000 g and a stylet tip radius of 15 ± 8 nm. Therefore, a pressure of more than 7 GPa was estimated at the stylet tip which they write is in the range of technical bullets.
