While speaking in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday President Biden said, “The bullet out of an AR-15 travels five times as rapidly as a bullet shot out of any other gun.”
Ironically, on June 30, 2022, Field & Stream did an in-depth look at the “Five Fastest Rifle Cartridges” and the two AR-15 rounds, .223 and 5.56, did not even make the cut.
Here are the top rounds, as listed by Field & Stream, and the feet per second (fps) they travel upon being fired:
.220 Swift — A 40-Grain .220 Swift round moves approx. 4,300 fps.
.257 Weatherby Magnum —

Typical AR-15 velocity is 3000 fps, longer barreled versions, less common these days, can be 3150 feet per second. And the current issue military ammo M855 actually goes a bit slower, probably 2900 fps from most ARs these days.
Divide 3,000 feet per second by 5 and you get 600 fps. My Red Ryder BB gun shoots about that fast, and ALL handguns made today shoot much faster than that.
So let's compare rifles. All other hunting rifles go from about 2000 fps and up to about 4,000 fps. Even the old US military rifle cartridge adopted in 1906 was rated at 2700 fps in those days, and today, hunting ammo in that cartridge (the ubiquitous .30-06) will run about 2900 fps, about the same as the current military 62 grain M855 ammo velocity in the AR-15s.
And if we want to do "any other gun"....the Field & Stream example is good. The .220 Swift is about the fastest of all and runs a bit over 4,000 fps, which is barely 1/3 faster than the most common ARs.
Sorry, Joe - total BULL MANURE. Not even 50% more let alone 500% as fast, you lying piece of garbage.

The worst assault weapon we’ve seen
Is not the AR15
But most lethal of all
Is the one that they call
The Dominion Voting Machine

It's a kick to watch FJB rant and pontificate at the same time when his Depends are twisted into a knot. Laughing at the lo-fo's that are paid to stand at the "rallies" . Morons.

I think Liberals think the gun throws the bullet, instead of being a tool to ignite the bullet. So the more evil looking the gun the harder and faster it throws the bullet.

Wow #2, you know your stuff. Good to know!
The dems are going to go after guns, they are telling us exactly what they are planning. Hopefully there are more gun owners who vote than liberal dems in this country so they don't get their way.

Shout out the the .243 Winchester 55 gr bullet clocking in at 3,910 fps.
Keep in mind that energy matters and that's M*V^2 so velocity is a big deal not the only deal.. When that .306 arrives at it's destination with the same V it does so with a lot more M.

Why does Biden insist on displaying his ignorance? Abraham Lincoln had that one right.
Fast 5.56 or slow .45, which one, Joe?

Velocity is just part of the equation.
Neutrinos travel at about the speed of light. They are actually particles. They have so little mass that they pass through you every second of every day. The pass through the whole PLANET without disturbing anything at all.
An AR-15 bullet is around 55-70 grains. It is not much larger than a .22LR that comes in at 40 grains.
A .45 ACP is about 4 times heavier.
Speed is not the only part of the equation. You don't want to be hit by ANY of these things.
As others have pointed out, there is simply no way what Joementia said is true unless you can find a gun that shoots a projectile at about half the speed of sound. Good luck with that.
Interestingly, it is surmised that the U.S. military likes the .556 Nato round because it is NOT as immediately lethal as other rifle calibers. Huh? What's that? Yes. The idea being that a wounded soldier is more of a drain on opposing forces than a dead one. Dead ones can be left on the field. Wounded ones typically require support and manpower to manage. Not sure if this is anywhere in writing, but I have read this.

First, we found out the 9mm will blow your lungs out now this from the firearm's ballistic expert Joe Bananas.
I have reloaded ammunition for over four decades knowing bullets, powder and firearms. The AR-15 and all variants of it never interests me or the caliber itself. It's too puny a bullet to mess with. Man will always look for something to move faster than something that came before it. A .17 caliber was touted as being the fastest the problem was that the wind could blow it off course down range, so it is useless for any serious hunter-shooter. I stick with heavy lumbering bullets moving at 2900 feet per second to do the job. Fraud Joe is stupid and making dumb statements like this is to get attention from the obese, green haired, tattooed fat girls in his audience.

Re #13, since I was a teen, I have "reloaded" ammunition. You save the fired brass case from factory ammo, replace the primer, put in the correct type and amount of gun powder and then a bullet. Done correctly, with the proper equipment, the resulting ammunition is at least the equal and sometimes even superior in quality to factory ammunition. It is a very precise hobby, and done wrong can blow up the gun. Not for people who can't follow the rules and be ultra careful.
So....it's like asking a quilter about patterns and styles of quilts or a knitter about making specific kinds of sweaters. If you do it as a hobby for 40 or 50 years, you learn a good bit just as a hobby interest.

#20 is correct. It’s one of the reasons the military uses jacketed bullets (FMJ). The Hague Convention of 1899 prohibits “expanding” bullets for being too cruel and damaging. At modern velocities, a non-jacketed bullet would also be less accurate.
I have a collection of Civil War Bullets. Those all lead .58 cal would leave horrific wounds even at around 1500 FPS. Get hit in an extremity and you had a chance...the surgeon just amputated. Get hit in the torso usually meant death later from infection if you weren’t killed immediately.
Brandon is a joke. This country is in deep ****.

One of the Bidiot's greatest howlers--"the 9mm blows the lungs out of the body"--is reprised in the article. Ostensibly governed by complete fool on the subject of firearms (and other things generally), we are truly cursed as a nation to have the likes of this low wattage individual in titular charge. What #2 writes is correct in every detail.
An AR-15, usually firing .223 Rem or 5.56 NATO, is among the best self defense weapons a homeowner can employ. A former neighbor from the Florida Highway Patrol minced no words: the AR-15 (particularly with a normal capacity 30 round magazine) is the best self defense weapon of all, especially against multiple attackers. Such a rifle has very little recoil, can be used by multiple members of the household, from young to old. No home invader wants to face an AR. Or an AK.
That said, the AR-15 is a small caliber rifle that is considered so weak that a number of states will not allow deer hunters to use it. It's not considered lethal enough to make ethical kills.
But is there a gun that will blow the lungs out of the body? Yes, there is. Watching videos of hunting feral hogs with .50 BMG, I became a believer. You would, too. Far reasons of taste I don't want to try to draw a picture with words. Just let me say that the full grown hog didn't need a second shot. Lord have mercy. I'm shuddering remembering. Whew!

Great. Is there ONE reporter, investigator, press flack, anywhere who will shout out to this demon, ' are you the Big Guy that is mentioned on Hunter's laptop?' Of course the answer is, there is no one in the media who will ask it. Sam Donaldson had the right commie idea, shout the questions, cover it with a TV camera and then yammer on about the propaganda for the rest of the hours of air time the network gave him on the public airwaves.

My .45 Auto comes out of the barrel at around 950 FPS. There isn't an AR or ammo in the world that travels at 5X that speed. What a moron. It's like "a 9mm will blow the lungs out of a person"...

So Lunch Bucket Head Joe our Jack of all trades president is now a ballistics expert? His stupid statement about the "weapon of war" the dreaded AR-15 is about as idiotic as that moron Shelia Jackson Lee saying the rifle takes 5mm rounds and is hundreds of pounds heavy. Like her that idiot knows NOTHING about firearms especially the evil AR-15 the gun that he and his party hate with a passion and wish we "red state redneck White Nationalist PDJT supporters" couldn't own.
