The 7.5 BRNO was developed between 2009 and 2014, for the specific purpose of providing high capacity automatic pistols the ability to engage combatant targets at a range of between 75–150 metres (246–492 ft) while retaining more kinetic energy at that range than a 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge can generate at the muzzle/point blank range.

Ballistics by the Inch (often called BBTI) was a project to test the performance characteristics of a variety of common handgun calibers/cartridges. The initial testing was done in 2008 and tested the velocity of 13 common handgun cartridges as it related to firearm barrel length. In 2009 an additional three calibers were tested and in 2010 and ...
