Pistol vs Carbine ( Velocity)
This expert guide details a practical comparison between a 9mm carbine and a 9mm pistol, demonstrating how barrel length significantly impacts muzzle velocity. Utilizing a chronograph, the video shows the Beretta CX4 Storm achieving 1232 fps while the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield registers 1048 fps with the same ammunition. The instructor, drawing on extensive experience, explains the ballistics behind this difference, concluding that the carbine delivers a substantially harder-hitting projectile.
