E=MC^2 only comes into play when converting matter to energy, or vice versa (e.g. when nuclear fusion or nuclear fission occurs). Unless atoms are being split or fused (as takes place in a nuclear bomb, nuclear reactor, or the sun) E=MC^2 is inapplicable.

Then howcome einstein’s formula for energy, E=MC^2 implies that the heavier bullet, the more energy it has, regardless of speed?

Interesting. I had no idea that any of this mattered. I always figured that if it could come out of a gun and fly through the air, it’ll kill you.
