I consider a 9mm to be marginal and I laugh at this

have 6 or 8 rounds that count, than 15 peas to lob


I've got two 9mms... One was for compact carry, but it got relegated
to the gun safe after I found the exact same model in .40SW and .45
with the same number of rounds and still basically the same size
weapon... The other 9mm has 50 round magazines for it... It might be
lobbing peas, but it's lobbing *a lot* of peas... One could consider
it good for suppressive fire...

I'd rather have a Thompson for suppressive fire. :-)
