During the speech, Biden made an unsourced claim about the speed that an AR-15 shoots bullets. "Do you realize the bullet out of an AR-15 travels five times as rapidly as a bullet shot out of any other gun?" Biden asked rhetorically during his speech. It is unclear what the president was referencing, but AR-15s generally do not shoot the fastest bullets. A June study by hunting gear retailer Field and Stream looked at the fastest rifle cartridges – and AR-15 rounds did not make their list. ... Biden also claimed that "AR-15s just rip the body apart," which is also inaccurate. Damage from a gunshot depends on the type of bullets used. Biden also ridiculed Second Amendment advocates in the Tuesday speech, sarcastically calling them "brave" for believing guns are a tool for self-defense. ...

A 55gr bullet fired at 5.56 NATO pressure from a 20-inch barrel has a muzzle velocity of about 3260 fps. (Yeah, different loadings yield different velocities.) Let's say "five times as rapidly" is really 4 rounded up. 3260/4 = 815 fps A 45gr 25 ACP bullet fired from a 2-inch barrel has a muzzle velocity of about 815 fps. So as long as "any other gun" is a 2-inch 25 ACP pistol, it could be true. To get slower than that, we'd have to start considering airguns and spring guns, but maybe that's really his diabolical plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
