    Explanation:

    The Kinetic energy of a bullet does not remain constant. It dissipates as the bullet travel through the air. It is partly converted into heat, sound, air resistance etc.

    Whereas the momentum of a travelling body remains conserved and hence constant. therefore a bullet with more momentum will cause more damage. that is momentum is more important than kinetic energy.
