"Weapons Expert" surprised by 30 carbine performance

[Daan Kemp]

For a straight comparison of cartridge only yes, but if comparing say, two service pistols using service ammo you have a set value for all of that. For example the M1911 and M9 using service ammo have ME within 5ft/lbs of each other at the muzzle.

You are comparing ME energy only in this example under a very restricted set of conditions,nothing else. As soon as anything changes, such as a different lot number service issue ammo, or different service pistols of the same type, make, etc, the results change. This is the subject of many arguments as it always has to do what the individual believes to be the truth.
