A very good read, with one curious error:
. . . the 9mm Parabellum, which has a terminal velocity just above supersonic speeds in its standard loading.
Surely he meant to write muzzle velocity.

Good catch........

Maybe he was referring to Saddam and the PA /Hamas types who like to shoot their nine's in the air.......thus it would be as in freefall skydiving....terminal velocity.

Stay Safe !
