I have looked at the AR15 9mm, never shot one.. But what is the twist on it???? 1:9, 1:7 ?? How far can you shoot it and still hit something?

It will hurt you, More than it will hurt me..

  The twist on a Colt 9mm AR-15 is 1 in 10. I have two post ban LE sales samples in 9mm, one with a 16" barrel and another with the 10" short submachinegun barrel and enjoy shooting both. The 16" carbine developes some prety decent velocities and accuracy is fine out to about 150 meters- well within the design parameters of the firearm.
  The 10" shorty is a close quaters number only and you are puhing your luck beyond 75 to 100 meters. The sights on both carbines are the old A1 style with a flip up apperatures of 50 and 100 yards. To get the most out of the 16" carbine you can try one of the 3 power scopes that mount on the carry handle. These are only my experiences and there may be guys out there who can knock over bowling pins at 400 meters with these carbines...I can't.
