I have an 1939 Enfield No. 1 Mk. II* DAO in excellent arsenal refinished condition with a 5" barrel. Recent (90's-00's) production Fiocchi .380 MkII with the 178 gr FMJ bullet averaged 642 fps velocity for 163 ft-lbs energy. For what its worth, it easily penetrated four gallon water jugs, plus a significant distance into a rag-filled cardboard collection box. The bullet could be loaded and fired again without issue. I occasionally carry my Enfield for defensive use, and don't feel poorly armed...
