Hey guy.

I need to the power i.e velocity of Shaktimaan cartridges at muzzle if anyone know then reply me.

As i see in indian ordinance factory website.
That IOF Special cartridges have 320+/- 15 mps( i.e 1048 fps.)
And astram magna have 350+/-15 mps (i.e 1148fps).

Does anyone know shaktimaan power or velocity.

Astram cartridges r best so far as far as power is concerned and is in 34gm category so most powerful.Shaktiman 4.8 has larger size pellets but is in 32 gm category.Main important issuse is size of shot in Shaktiman which is more damaging for target and 34 grams with no 1 in Astram has more firepower but shot is smaller it may have larger velocity than Shaktiman but shot is more powerful in Shaktiman.

I think it would be around 1200 fps. It has around 1.6 grams of gunpowder for 32 grams of shots.
