If you compare a subsonic round out of a 6in barrel to a supersonic round out of a 10in barrel, the supersonic round is almost certainly going to have more energy. KE=1/2mV^2.
The subsonic velocity out of an unmodified AR lower is the selling point of the round.
I guess someone at leviathan group probably wants people to move over to 8.6 Blackout now, since GT keeps shilling it over and over.
It's for engagement, the entire test is meaningless. They did next to nothing during this outing aside from shooting gel and plinking at shapes in the distance.Those guys have a point, though. .300 BLK loads that use high quality expanding projectiles are going to perform better than 9mm. On the other hand, those high quality .300 BLK loads are 3x-6x the cost of 9mm Gold Dot, HST, Critical Defense, etc.
Mr. Thumb shooting subs at 300 yards was goofy. Who knew a projectile going 2400fps would outperform a projectile going 1000fps? .300 BLK subs are for 100 yards and in. That's my unprofessional opinion, anyway.
He successfully rustled jimmies in a caliber war that's been going for years.
