Re: Highest velocity out of small arms
The highest that I know is .223 with 3240 fps. 5.56 can be 3000+ fps. HN's 5.7 anre somewhere in the mid 2000 fps.
The highest that I have are Hyper velocity CCI Stinger .22 LR with 1640 fps. Kinda whimpy, comparing to .223

Re: Highest velocity out of small arms
My Mauser from 1944 is going about 2600-2800 fps at the muzzle with a 196 grain bullet. I'd say that ain't too shabby when you compare it to 3000 fps with a 55 grain .223
Guns don't kill people, it's mostly the bullets.

Re: Highest velocity out of small arms
They all vary and I'm not an extreme expert or anything. But .... I'd have to say its either a
22-250
243
204
All of those have really high velocities.

Re: Highest velocity out of small arms
What do you consider small arms? Pistols only? Counting the .223 pistol or no?
