Greetings!!!

Actually, the offical reasoning why Pistols do 9M as opposed to 6M is their
use of "Firepower Ammo". No specs on firepower ammo, it just does a better
job and is only manufactured for pistols.

FASA's rationale was that pistols were not powerful enough when they uped the
damage codes to 9M. There had to be a level playing field.

It has nothing to do with round size or anything realistic.
