Gents,
Just a theoretical question for you all and hoping someone knows off the top of their head.
Looking at 9mm Luger loads shows that max pressure is in the ballpark of 33,000.
A typical AR barrel is going to be rated around 62,000 for 5.56 Nato chamberings.
Does anyone know the pressure rating of a 9mm AR barrel? I did a cursory search and came up with nothing.
I could guess that a 9mm barrel is coming from the same blanks as a 5.56 barrel, but that's a big assumption.
The reason for asking of course is to determine if it's reasonable to overload a 9mm round and still be safe in a carbine.
