So I've been seeing quite a bit lately on the russian 5.45x18 on youtube (larry vickers did a video and so did forgotten weapons) I'm a huge fan of Russian weapons and cartridges, and I know that here in the west the 5.45x18 has a lot of mystical properties associated with it because it can penetrate 40+ layers of kevlar (thanks to its steel core and spitzer point) but when you look at it's velocity and bullet weight it's not much more than a .22 lr. The PSM pistol that shoots the 5.45 is pretty cool too but when looking at its dimensions it's very close to the kel tec p-32/p-3at except quite a bit heavier, so I got to thinking, is anyone else interested in .380 or even a 9x18mak necked down to .25? it's similar in concept to the .25naa and .32naa but with a lot more powder behind it. What do you think the hypothetical velocity would be? Put something like that in the lighweight polymer shell of a p-3at or lcp and you'd have a pretty fast little pocket pistol. Whadda ya'll think, am I crazy?
