Typical velocities (from a 16" barrel) for a 150 gr and 125 gr bullets using loads listed in the Sierra manual is 2000 fps and 2250 fps.
If you load the supersonic to 55,000 psi, and add a suppressor - will it or won't the full auto cyclic rate exceed Colt M4 specs? And if you shoot the subsonic without a suppressor, will or won't the cyclic rate be within Colt M4 specs? These are things we did on high speed video when setting all the specs.
