You ask for 9mm

I therefore assume that you mean a 9 x 19 mm cartridge, also known as 9mm Parabellum or 9mm Luger.

This should be the most widely used short-arm cartridge used worldwide, military and police.

The projectile speed (column speed, i.e. V0) is up to 600m/s or 2.160 km/h

This depends, among other things, on the weapon.

Google says:

The muzzle speed is in the range of approximately 100–150 m/s (approximately 300–600 km/h).

All information without guarantee.

I guess Google must have promised. …: the normal muzzle speed of commercial 9 para ammunition (8 grams bullet) is about 350 – 400 m/sec from short weapons.

An air rifle with 7.5 joule already reaches a V0 of 160m/s.

Our service delivered 9 x 19 is 590m/s

If you mean the usual and “civil” ammunition, your information will be included, which is more than 400 m/s.

In the case of rechargers, it is quite different, because it is possible to achieve stronger values – taking into account the permissible laboratory.

Then there is also “early ammunition” which is not available for civilians….

By the way, Wikipedia is generally well informed – please check which data is given there….

Sure you mean the muzzle speed and not the bullet energy…? 😉

I have four different types of normal 9 para in front of me and, according to the data on the box, they are all well below 400 m/sec.

The Magtech Subsonic is only 305 m/sec.
