This is an empirical index attempting to qualify the "shock effect" of spears relative to each other. The scores for each spear is basically their momentum modified for the different diameters. My own experience on largish fish is pretty consistent with the comparison in the matrix & it would be interesting to hear others opinions based upon their own experiences.
Yes, different spearhead diameters will change the score. Also, this isnt about the sectional density or the penetration of a spear. It is simply about comparing how much shock effect different spears have when the brain or vitals are missed. Also, spears with a very high shock effect from oversize spearheads usually have a relatively low sectional density (penetration). This is the score for each spear when at its highest sectional density.
