I think they got the velocity wrong

quote:

I engaged with the first insurgent. It took me nine rounds but I took him down with the ninth.

Let's see 9 rounds to hit the first one, 5 tangos down total, that would seem to be a minimum 13 rounds in 28 seconds, including 2 reloads of a 5 round mag.

Pretty impressive, especially at that range.

The way I read it is 28 seconds between killing the first and fifth, which is considerably more plausable.

I thought the velocity was close, so taking the 2093 mph and dividing by 60 mph, then multiplying by the 88fps at 60 mph, gave 3070fps. Your mileage may vary.....
