7.62x51 M993 does not seem a relevant basis for comparison.

10m is actually super impressive

I agree and would add: from a 5" barrel.

Yeah, outstanding penetration for a pistol caliber but what if you scale it up to 338 .375 .510 Would it then be able to penetrate level 4 body armor at 1000+yard?

Is anything known about the Projectile? Just curious if it is any special alloy or just the old story, brass jacket, tungsten core and done.

When it comes to PDWs, Swedish "S" tank crews have to be the best ever.

For dismounted armament, each of the three crewmen had a 7.62 GPMG!

could you have a round which is interchangable with 9mm but far higher pressure. Lets say, 600ft lbs from a pistol.

with an 85grain tungsten spitzer

"reports" that we all know are BS. The 30 carbine had more vel and energy than the 45 so any bullet found in clothing likely went through part of someone else or was a ricochet.

It would not be my choice to use a 30 c but, use what you have.
