The last time I listened to a pitch on kinetic weapons the energy was expressed in ergs. It really sounded impressive, but I later converted the energy into Ft lbs and found they were talking about the destructive power of an eight inch shell that does not explode. Not impressive at all.

You do realize that a 225 kg conventional bomb is a 500 lb bomb. More powerful than my example , but still not very powerful. Would not seriously damage a bunker.
