The 9mm in a SubMG
Gentlemen, I hope I am adressing the correct forum.
My question is: What is the max. effective range of the 9mm used in a subMG such as a MP40, StenGun or SUOMI? What about the UZI?
The reason for my question is that I saw a lady handle a SUOMI on the 200 m range, all 10 shots in the target could be covered by a hand. That made me very curious. What kind of "damage" could a 9mm inflict at 200m when fired from a 10 - 12 inch barrel.?

If you shot a 130gr bullet at 1200fps zero'd for 100dys, your bullet would be traveling at 850fps at 200yds and have 200ftlbs of energy and drop 35inches. You wouldn't want to be hit with it, but it would not penetrate your vest. Kudude
