Jin couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Jin D., now that he understood the situation, spent some time on Horai Island thinking.
"Escape is easy. But I want to help the investigators.

Since the velocity is not so great, the power comes from the weight.
In other words, it was the epitome of "if it hits, it is powerful, but if it doesn't hit, it is useless.
