354 meters per second with a standard military load, which translates to something around 1155 feet per second, give or take. Different loadings will result in different velocities, as with any firearm.
muzzle velocity is the velocity of bullet and recoil velocity is the velocity of gun.
the muzzle velocity on the 40gn vmax is 2200fps
it is the instantaneous velocity as a projectile leaves the barrel
It depends entirely on the muzzle velocity of the weapon you are using. The higher the muzzle velocity the farther the projectile will travel.
@ 1000 fps
