For projectiles in unpowered flight, its velocity is highest at leaving the muzzle and drops off steadily because of air resistance.Projectiles traveling less than the speed of sound (about 340 m/s (1,100 ft/s) in dry air at sea level) are subsonic, while those traveling faster are supersonic and thus can travel a substantial distance and even hit a target before a nearby observer hears the ...
The 9×19mm Parabellum (also known as 9mm Luger, 9mm NATO or simply 9mm) is a rimless, centerfire, tapered firearms cartridge.

This is a table of selected pistol/submachine gun and rifle/machine gun cartridges by common name. Data values are the highest found for the cartridge, and might not occur in the same load (e.g. the highest muzzle energy might not be in the same load as the highest muzzle velocity, since the bullet weights can differ between loads).
According to SIG Sauer, 9mm NATO (a commercial +P overpressure variant) 8.05 g (124 gr) loads released in 2018 out of the SIG P320-M17 have a muzzle velocity of 365 m/s (1,198 ft/s) and muzzle energy of 535 J (395 ft⋅lbf).
The Calico M950 is a semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Calico Light Weapons Systems in the United States. Its main feature, along with all the other guns of the Calico system, is that it feeds from a proprietary helical magazine mounted on top, available in a 50 or 100-round capacity. [1]
The P-96 (Russian: П-96) is a Russian 9 mm semi-automatic pistol designed by the KBP Instrument Design Bureau for the Russian Armed Forces. The pistol was not accepted and then offered in a modernized form for law enforcement and security firms (P-96M and P-96S).
The 9mm Largo was developed by Theodor Bergmann and Hugo Schmeisser for the Bergmann–Bayard 1903 pistol. According to Janes, the Spanish military loads had a muzzle velocity of 400 m/s (1,300 ft/s) and a muzzle energy of 656 J. [1] While it's a powerful round, it was used in unlocked breech weapons such as the Astra pistol.
The GSh-18 may be employed using standard 9×19mm Parabellum rounds, but was designed for the high velocity, Russian armour-piercing 9×19mm 7N31 round. The pistol incorporates a pre-set striker. [1] The slide and working parts are steel, and the weapon has a polymer frame. Two different designs of grip have been observed. [5]
