300 Blackout/Whisper reincarnation of 8mm Kurz?

[Medic650]

I was looking at ammo at Aim Surplus and the 8mm Kurz got me wondering.
From Cartriges of the World: 7.92x33, Bullet weight/ 8.1 g (125 gr) type Ball, Velocity Energy 685 m/s (2,250 ft/s) 1,909 J (1,408 ft·lbf).

So the round the that the first true assualt rifle, the Sturmgewehr Stg44, issued in 1944 has remarkably similar ballistics. History repeats itself again?

...pretty much. AK-47 was first now the WTF.
They tried communism over there and now they're trying to get it going here. The older you get the easier it is to see the cycles.

Yes, I noticed that also.
