I'm not a spoon guy at all. I know nothing really about the hobby. Nonetheless I came across this article which I found interesting and was wondering what might the implications be? Maybe it doesn't change much in the 9mm arena, but if the technology were applied to larger ballistics (here I am sounding like I know something about this area of interest
) then it might have some advantages in the area of defense...?
From the article:
" the new and improved bullet – named P-51 – hit 2,350 FPS in recorded tests. This far exceeded the 1,454 FPS recorded from the standard U.S. Navy round. And it outperformed the civilian 9mm, which reached 1,339 FPS.
In addition, the bullet travelled true and a had very small, two-inch drop in elevation at 100 metres. The Navy round dropped roughly 10 inches, while the civilian round fell almost 20 inches. Even seasoned firearms experts say they’ve never heard of a 9mm hitting speeds like that."
