    Just FYI, The current M2 MV seems down a bit from the 1940's and '70's U.S. documents- the reason for the 2800fps that's most commonly seen on the quick Google search I just did a few moments ago is not explained, though . I do know that folk I've talked to (whom I trust) that are back from Iraq report using a large amount of 1940's vintage ammo (!!!). No reports yet from current operators in Afganistan, and I didn't think to ask anyone in 2002 back when I was on base much more regularly.
