yes, thats why i don't see those values prove anything, as neither value would allow penetrating armor, and all values would allow lethal wounds to the flesh. So i guess it would be about handiness of each technique withing confined space of close formation, battle fatigue and how fast it happen etc..
unrelated, but back to those speeds - average boxer can achieve with a direct punch velocity of around 10m/s, good boxers go over 12m/s. So if somebody presents values that are almost 3x lower for the same trajectory, something is most definitely not right with the technique. (muscles used in a punch and in overarm shoulder height thrust are exactly the same) (btw, Guinness record is 19m/s)
