Yes, bullets travel faster than the speed of sound. That is why if someone was to shoot a target from a distance and you were standing beside the target, you would be able to see the target get hit by the bullet before you would hear the crack of the gun Some bullets travel faster than the speed of sound, but not all.

∙ 9y agothe speed of light is faster than a bullet, bullets can go up to 2.5 kil. a second as of the speed of light can get from space to your room in a blink of an eye.

What is faster than a bullet?
* The speed of light in a vacuum, * The speed of sound,
Is the concord air craft faster than a bullet?
depends on the bullet different calibers from different guns travel at different speeds comcord traveled at twice the speed of sound
Does sound and light travel at the same speed?
no, light is faster
Does sound travel faster in air in summer or in winter?
Speed of sound is proportional to absolute temperature. It should therefore travel faster in warmer weather.
What is faster the speed of sound or the speed of a .223 short magnum bullet?
The speed of sound at sea level is 340 meters per second.For the .223 Winchester Super Short Magnum bullet, a muzzle velocity of 1,402 meters per second is quoted. However, various factors affect bullet speed, such as muzzle type and length, powder types, powder packing etc.However, if we take 1,402 meters per second as achievable, then this .223 bullet is 4.123 times faster than the speed of sound.
What is a supersonic bullet?
A supersonic bullet is a bullet that is faster than the speed of sound.

What is faster a f-117 or a bullet?
Based on a little research I just did, the F117's maximum speed is just under Mach 1 (the speed of sound). Some bullets travel much slower than that, and some travel much faster, so it just depends on which bullet you're referring to.
Can a sneeze travel faster than the speed of sound?
The speed of sound is faster then the amount of speed a sneeze can generate. The speed of sound travels 741mph while the information that is provided shows a sneeze can travel up to 100mph.
What do you break when you travel faster than the speed of sound?
The sound barrier
Do missiles travel faster than sound?
yes, Even a rifle bullet may travel faster than sound, but even then, it cannot reach escape velocity. Rockets seem to have beaten the escape velocity problem. A space missile will travel more than 11.2 km/s, which is about 10 times the speed of a bullet. +/- [Sound velocity ~ 330m/s.] The first body to leave the Earth was the Sputnik.
Do xrays travel at the speed of sound?
They travel much, much faster than that.
Does sound and light travel at the same speed?
no, light is faster
Why did people say that the Concorde was faster than a speeding bullet?
Because Concorde travelled faster than the speed of sound!
If a bullet is fired out of a fighter jet traveling Max speed does the bullet travel faster than if it were fired at a stand still?
No. The bullet will actually travel much slower due to wind resistance.
Does sound travel faster in air in winter or summer?
Speed of sound is proportional to absolute temperature. It should therefore travel faster in warmer weather.
