The S&W M&P380 Shield EZ is a semi-auto pistol chambered in .380 ACP, built by S&W in United States. From its 93 mm (3.7 in) barrel, Fiocchi 380 Auto Full Metal Jacket (95 gr FMJ) leaves the muzzle at about 955 fps (291 m/s), adjusted from the 97 mm test barrel the figure was measured in. Zeroed at 25 m, the bullet drops 39 mm by 50 m with 221 J (163 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 8-round magazine.
Computed by the BallisticEngine engine for this barrel length, zeroed at 25 m, 15 °C, sea level, no wind.
