A polymer 308 (7.62mm) round could get somewhere near 5,000 fps. Regular ball ammo is limited to about 2,700 fps (823 m/s).
- Years ago I read about polymer rounds being used by air marshals. The idea being the polymer round would be far less likely to penetrate the skin of the air craft. They also cause massive tissue damage because of their elevated speed.
