In GURPS, damage scales with the square root of energy.
  • HP scales with the square root of cross section, which equals cube root of mass, all else remaining equal.
  • Explosives damage scales with the square root of energy, which is the square root of mass.
  • ST damage scales with the square root of energy, which equals the square root of BL.
Those three models are actually the same model.
