The Ruger LC Carbine 10mm is a semi-auto firearm chambered in 10mm Auto, built by Ruger in United States. From its 413 mm (16.3 in) barrel, Federal American Eagle Handgun, Full Metal Jacket (180 gr FMJ) leaves the muzzle at about 1186 fps (362 m/s), adjusted from the 127 mm test barrel the figure was measured in. Zeroed at 25 m, the bullet drops 13 mm by 50 m with 622 J (459 ft-lb) left. At the muzzle that is enough to defeat Drywall, Plate Glass and Pine Wood, and not enough for Brick, AR500 Steel and Kevlar NIJ IIIA. It feeds from a 30-round magazine.
