[kmk]

Somewhere around 1350 fps, IIRC. It also depends on the manufacturer, if it was for a sub-gun etc.......

IIRC, it varies a bit from 1500-1600 ish. I've heard the .223 Timbs load can hit around 2000 fps!

1300 is more the range of 7.63 Mauser.

[AJAX22]

.223 timbs is about 1800fps

magsafe ammo throws the .30 bullet at 2200-2300fps,

.22 reed express (requires a barrel conversion) starts at around 1950 and goes up above 2500 depending on the bullet weight.

I'm a huge fan of the Cz52, they need to make a double stack frame for them.

Okay, I stand corrected then. I know we shot some Russian that was 1350 fps-1390 fps. Now I have a good excuse to take the VZ-52 out to check some Bulgarian and Romanian.

I think the muzzle energy listed by PJA is missing a digit, maybe he intended 510 ft/lbs? That's well above typical 9mm, pretty impressive.

[M. Sage]

Lol, I hadn't caught that... that's like .22 LR muzzle energy.

I popped a bullet out of one of my 7.62x25 and tried pouring the powder into a 9x19 case I'd found... It won't all fit, even if you don't plan on seating a bullet in the 9mm case. So I can believe it could have a higher muzzle force than 9mm.

[PJA]

Oops! Should read 511.

For those often comparing the Five-seveN 5.7X28 to the 7.62X25 - as fired from the Five-seveN:

1900 ft/s (28gr) to 2,300 ft/s (40gr) at the muzzle and around 330 ft/lb to 350 ft/lb for the 5.7X28 from what is essentially a similar sized handgun (these are not PS90 figures).

7.62X25 Tokarev in 85gr FMJ is about 1647 ft/s at the muzle and around 511ft/lb muzzle energy. Not too shabby at all!!

Meanwhile....

.30 Luger in 93gr FMJ is about 1220 ft/s at the muzzle and around 305 ft/lb from a similar sized Luger.

.357Magnum in 158gr FMJ is about 1214 ft/s at muzzle and around 515 ft/lb.

The main reason that people like to compare the CZ52 to the Five-seveN is the reputation that both have for cutting through kevlar.

Oh yes, it's why I posted those. I've seen "Box 'O Truth" in the past, an excellent website. I hope they will next use a vest and the helmet for testing the CZ52 vs. the Five-seveN, and maybe some surprise tests, like on a .17HMR, .22 Hornet, and maybe some older pistol fired oddities like the Smith Model 53 .22 Rem-Jet (which is a .22 using a necked-down .357Magnum case), the .357 Bain & Davis (.357 using a .44Magnum Case), and maybe some other high velocity wildcat cartridges using bullets under .30 / 7.62mm.
