9MM is capable out to 400 yards!
Being a fan of pistol caliber carbines I hear many times here on TFL that a 9mm carbine in fact most pistol caliber carbines are a waste of money since they are useless beyond 100 yards.
A good friend sent me this web address since he knows how much I like them and I will admit that I had serious doubts about a 400 yard 9mm being capable of penetrating a full length torso of ballistic jell.
This isn’t the most scientific test but the two guys did a good job with the filming and setting up the test.
The only thing I would have liked to know was how high he had to hold to hit with a 9mm.
Please don’t think that I am suggesting that you can or should take on deer or even think that a 9mm is a capable gun at that range. This was only an experiment to show what the penetration of a 9mm is even out to that range is capable of.
