.22 LMSSSS (Long Magnum Super Sonic Special Shit). Energy varies proportionally to the square of the velocity, so at 4,600 ft/sec with a 50 grain bullet that's 2,350 ft-lbs of energy. For comparison purposes, a typical 62 grain AR-15 bullet traveling at 3,200 ft/sec possesses 1,410 ft-lbs of energy. So that abortion of an experimental round has about 66% more energy at the muzzle than the AR round. Barrel life should be 250 rounds tops at that velocity.
