I don't want any new gun laws but seriously do some research before you post this shit. At least sit back and think about it for a few minutes before you copy and paste it from some other site.

They travel at speeds from 2750 fps to 3750 fps.
Here's more of that copy/paste for ya:
FBI Ballistic Tests
As a result of renewed law enforcement interest in the .223 round and in the newer weapons systems developed around it, the FBI recently subjected several various .223 caliber projectiles to 13 different ballistic tests and compared their performance to that of SMG-fired hollow point pistol bullets in 9mm, 10mm, and .40 S&W calibers.
Bottom Line: In every test, with the exception of soft body armor, which none of the SMG fired rounds defeated, the .223 penetrated less on average than any of the pistol bullets.
