I knew that too.

Here's another name for it

The .22 Super Duper Fitty Mile Ultra Magnum Magnum!!!

"22 eargesplittin LOUDENboomer" but you got it in one!

It was invented in the 1960s by P.O. Ackley to set a world record for firing bullets at over 5000 fps (1524 m/s). The round failed to reach the desired velocity, but reached 4600 fps with a 50 grain bullet and 105 grains of H570 powder. It is based on the .378 Weatherby Magnum cartridge case, necked down to .224 caliber.

I had to look that up (not a surprise as I'm no expert). I wonder what's so special about 5000fps from a physics stand point?

Would have to be a looong barrel for it to use all the powder for velocity instead of being a flash bang at the end I’d imagine.

Despite the warning, that thing flys over Tennessee and suddenly we have a new ammo shortage…
