Hi guys,
if we want to compare the applied load that takes effect on a Luger during a shot, we must not compare the muzzle velocities of the bullets, but we must compare the momentum meaning muzzle velocity*bullet weight.
According to Newton's law the bullet's muzzle momentum causes the same but reverse momentum on the breech block and finally on the frame. That means that a light bullet with a high muzzle speed has an enomous energy but only a moderate momentum.
I regularly shoot Magtech 95gr ammunition with a muzzle speed of 1345fps in my shooters. Seems to be very hot, but the momentum is fairly soft.
Armin.
