A smaller projectile would move a lot faster so yes.

How so?![]()
A terrorist stabbed a 70-year-old woman, inflicting moderate-to-severe wounds, near Jerusalem's central bus station on Wednesday evening.. The attacker attempted to board an Eged bus before being shot dead.
Only a few hours earlier, a knife-wielding terrorist was shot dead at the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem's Old City before he was able to hurt anyone.
Ok, I was just curious. It's just that I'd think that air resistance would be problematic for a lighter projectile...Less force required to get it down the barrel?
Eight Israelis have now been killed in stabbings, shootings and other attacks, as well as 29 Palestinians, 12 of them identified as attackers by the Israeli authorities and others shot dead during the protests that have swept the West Bank.

Glad to see that the settlers were arrested.
A report published in May by Yesh Din, an Israeli group that provides legal assistance to Palestinians, looked at the fate of some 1,000 complaints filed with Israeli police over alleged violence by settlers between 2005 and 2014.
The study found that more than 91 percent of investigations were closed without indictments being filed. In the overwhelming majority of these cases, around 85 percent, the investigation was closed due to a failure to find suspects or collect sufficient evidence to file charges, the report says.
“Of course, not every crime can be solved,” said Yesh Din spokesman Gilad Grossman. “But if such a large proportion of cases remains unsolved it is because the police fails to take even the most basic investigative steps such as interviewing witnesses, the complainant and potential suspects.”
Only about 7 percent of investigations lead to charges being filed, according to Yesh Din. Most of these involve violent attacks and high-profile cases, such as a 2007 kidnapping and beating of a 15-year-old Palestinian boy, the report says.
For cases that do end up in court, almost 23 percent of indictments are dropped or thrown out, while nearly a quarter of trials end with a guilty verdict but a decision not to convict the defendant. This measure of leniency – which is often applied to minors or people without a criminal record – is used unusually liberally with settlers, the report suggests, noting that such an outcome occurs only in 5.3 percent of cases tried in magistrates courts and 1.2 percent in district courts.
Only a third of the trials end with a full or partial conviction, which may result from a plea bargain, according to the report. Taking into account the amount of indictments originally filed, this means that for Palestinian victims of Jewish violence there is less than a 2.5 percent chance of the perpetrators being found, tried and convicted.
According to police, the authorities have sealed off portions of roadways leading to the Azrieli Center, which lies just off the Ayalon Freeway.
Security forces in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area are searching for a "suspicious vehicle" on Thursday, with helicopters hovering in a pursuit that has focused on the Hashalom Junction that borders Ramat Gan.
According to police, the authorities have sealed off portions of roadways leading to the Azrieli Center, Tel Aviv's most recognizable skyscrapers which lie just off the Ayalon Freeway.
Helicopters and sirens can be heard by residents while massive traffic jams have been reported on Ayalon.
Witnesses at the Givatayim Mall just a few kilometers away from the area said that massive police forces have entered the vicinity in search of suspicious activity.
So the arrests are just to keep up appearances then? Did that right wing group ever get charged for killing that family?

Seems that way. Which groups/family?
No charges have yet been filed in the case, though the Israeli security establishment deem Jewish extremists to be responsible for the arson.
B'tselem stated that Israeli condemnations would remain mere rhetoric if such attacks were allowed to continue, noting that in the past three years nine Palestinian homes had been subject to firebombing and no one has yet to be incriminated in any of the cases.
Yuval Diskin, ex-head of the Shin Bet intelligence agency, reflecting on Israel's response to such attacks, stated that an anarchistic state was being formed in southern West Bank which was violent and developing racist ideologies and that these are being handled tolerantly by the Israeli judicial system. He claimed that, in this part of the West Bank, 'law enforcement is shockingly weak towards Jews.'
According to the UN, since the beginning of 2015 at least 120 settler attacks have been documented in West Bank, and Yesh Din statistics suggest over 92.6% of Palestinian complaints lodged with Israeli security forces never led to charges being filed.
