Right, but it seems like the majority of handguns out there are firing at, what, 500fps or so? Whereas most semi-automatic rifles get up in that 2000+ range? Because that muzzle velocity thing is a difference worth considering.
Is there any legitimate reason for wanting high-velocity rounds? It seems like it'd make very little difference at the range (and if it did the rounds could simply be allowed on ranges and not elsewhere). Given what it does to the internals, I don't know why you'd necessarily want to hunt with them; seems like they'd destroy your meat.
