This. Had to be muzzle velocity to which they were referring, right? Impact speeds of 2400 and up would make them “unsuitable” at all but the shortest typical hunting ranges.

I just assumed that a RN design would mean lower velocity thresh hold would be down around 1800, not 2400.

Did they specify this as a range of impact speeds, or was it a suggested range of launch speeds for good impact performance at typical hunting distances.
