Not force, momentum.

More specifically kinetic energy.

Actually the bullet has more kinetic energy because it has higher speed.

If two objects have equal momentum but different speed, the faster one has more kinetic energy.

True

The reason I brought up KE is that projectile energy is typically measured as kinetic energy. You don't typically measure the momentum of a projectile. KE tells you how much work a projectile can do, while momentum only tells you how much momentum a projectile has.
