How fast is a bullet from an Italian carcano rifle?

The bullet speed of a Carcano rifle depends on the specific model and ammunition used. Here are the approximate muzzle velocities for some common Carcano rifles:

1. Carcano Model 1891:

- 6.5x52mm Carcano ammunition: Approximately 2,350 feet per second (716 meters per second)

2. Carcano Model 91/28 TS:

- 6.5x52mm Carcano ammunition: Approximately 2,650 feet per second (807 meters per second)

3. Carcano Model 38:

- 7.35x51mm Carcano ammunition: Approximately 2,750 feet per second (838 meters per second)

These values are approximate and can vary based on factors such as barrel length, ammunition batch, and environmental conditions. It's important to note that these rifles are no longer in widespread use, and the ballistics may differ from modern firearms.
