Okay, you have certain beliefs. How did you end up with them? What sort of test or data would make you change them?I can not believe that the 9mm is now equal to a 357 mag ?
I do agree with some of what you say but the 9mm is just a 9mm I can't see how due to internet hype its now equal to the 357 mag ,
I bet next month we could use the mighty 9mm as a sniper round , ship deck gun or field artillery round I just do not believe its equal to a
357 mag or a 45 acp or a 40, it has been said that the 9mm is comparable to a 38 spl but you have more rounds carried
this is just getting silly now !!
I think people have trouble believing that a few hundred FPS or a millimeter doesn't transform a chunk of lead into a kinetic energy weapon, but it doesn't. Handgun rounds throw fairly low velocity rounds into a bag of mostly water, and that isn't a scenario that is going to produce spectacular results. All of these rounds just make holes, and the holes are more similar than different.
