- While I have reservations about the 10mm as a pistol ammo, I suspect
- that it might find a place as carbine and submachine gun ammo. It
- should achieve quite respectable energies when fired out of a carbine
- barrel. I wouldn't be surprised, based on the results I've read with
- .357 Magnum fired out of a carbine, if the energies for the 155 grain
- bullet weren't up in the 30-30 range. There would be obvious advantages
- to getting assault rifle like performance out of a submachine gun.
-
- Has anybody seen any actual reports on the muzzle velocities of the
- new 10mm submachine guns?
