Ok I will. You posted some BS. Nobody is getting a 22cal to 7,000fps. That is a straight up lie.
What I will add is that a pistol caliber will not be a rifle. The velocity just isn’t there. 2200fps is the line where a temporary cavity becomes a permanent one. Rifles do that. Pistols calibers generally don’t.

I was going by memory. It was in excess of 6000fps. I cant find the exact quote im thinking of, but I think its the same study he references here. https://pistol-forum.com/archive/index.php/t-8522.html
Assuming “pistol becomes rifle” means at what velocity does a tc become significant, there is no defined line to the tc threshold, there are a lot if variables including surface area, projectile shape, size, weight, and the tissue involved.

1. “Generally speaking” means not always, and contradicts your statement that “2200fps is the line.” Generally speaking is more accurate (because its a number in the range, so it will be correct with something), but less precise, so you really have not added anything valuable to the discussion.
2. So I have 2 options- Ill go professional with you this time:
Its there.
Clear as crystal.
If you want to look good, only call people out when you are 100% you are correct, because the opposite is devastating for your reputation. If not, it usually ends in hypocrisy, like this case you’ve provided.
Please find the below in that first link:

FYI, this particular thread doesn't concern terminal ballistics in living creatures.
It seems I confused a hypothetical scenario with the actual purpose of the thread. I also still stand behind my initial post.
Feel free to resume your "discussion".
