In the case of the 1911A1 pistol, in .45 ACP, firing a standard 230 gr. round nosed bullet, when elevated to 33 degrees, the bullet will travel 2096 ft. Not accurately, but that is it's maximum RANGE. When fired from a carbine or submachinegun, the range may be greater.

What is the muzzle velocity of a .45 caliber bullet?

Depends on which .45- 45 Colt, 45 ACP, 45 Magnum, 45-70, and which bullet, and what it is fired from. If you mean the .45 ACP fired by a 1911A1 pistol, velocity varies from 830 FPS up to about 1020 fps. Slow, fat, but gets the job done.


Why is a 45 gap comparable to a 45 acp and a 380 acp is not comparable to a 9mm?

The 45 GAP operates at slightly higher pressure than standard (non +p) 45 ACP ammunition and by this means is able to generate similar velocity and energy to the 45 ACP cartridge. The 380 Auto cartridge is not only smaller than 9mm Luger, it is also far lower pressure. The 380 Auto delivers far less velocity and energy and cannot handle as much bullet mass as the 9mm.
