Maybe a good Excellent puts out around 10 Joule, not 10 ft LBs, that would keep it at the Swedish legal limit, and would be a tad under 7 1/2 ftlbs.

a gun is just a tool how its used is dependant on the person behind the trigger .
This is why constant restrictions on legal users will have no effect on the unlawfull use of guns or knives !
