What was the weight (preferably in grains) and speed (preferably
muzzle velocity in feet per second) of the projectile fired by the
German 9mm Luger P08 service pistol using standard German military
service ammunition?

Dear chrisnp,

The 9mm Luger P 08 weighs 0.877 kg (13,534.1783 grain).

The muzzle velocity of a Luger P 08 is 320 meters per second
(1049.86877 foot per second) when used with the standard 9mm
Parabellum ammunition.

A little correction: 0.877 kg is, of course, the weapon's weight. I
will do additional research to find the projectile's weight. Please
excuse the small misunderstanding.
