For a 9mm PISTOL- effective range is about 50 meters. Max range about 960.
@ 50m
What are you trying to ask? Maximum range or maximum effective range?
Depends on which 9mm. If you mean the M9 pistol in use by the US military, it is listed as having a max EFFECTIVE range of 60 meters- bullet can travel about 960 meters. Other 9mm weapons, such as carbines, would have a longer effective and max range.
The maximum effective range for a typical 9mm Parabellum handgun is about 50 meters. The bullet can be driven to a maximum range of over 1000 meters- when fired at a 45 degree angle. This will have no accuracy, and can only guarantee the bullet will hit the earth- somewhere.
When fired from the M9 pistol, the 9mm Parabellum cartridge may reach a maximum range of 200-2500 meters, however, there is NO degree of accuracy at that range. The effective range is about 50 meters.
Effective range is about 25m
The average 9mm Parabellum pistol has an effective range of about 50 meters. The cartridge has a MAXIMUM range (no accuracy) of about 960 meters.
Effective range is 25-50m
All bullets "begin losing power" as soon as they leave the barrel- and continue to lose power until they stop. Firearms have a maximum range- how far can the bullet be driven- and a maximum effective range- How far can I HIT a target consistently with this gun/cartridge. Most 9mm pistols have a maximum range of about 900 yards- but at that distance, you cannot reliably hit anything except the Earth. An average max effective range is about 75 yards.
What is the maximum effective range of the M16A2 and M9?
Effective range- 50 yards. Maximum- 1 mile
50 meters for most.
