The bullets fired from MOST rifles travel faster than the speed of sound. The speed of sound is ABOUT 1126 feet per second- it varies some with temperature, air pressure, etc. Rifles usually fire a bullet with an intital speed of between 2400 and 4000 feet per second. Bullets DO slow down after leaving the gun, and can become slower than the speed of sound after traveling some distance.

How fast can sound travel through a vacuum?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum as it needs a medium, such as air, water, or solid material, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for sound waves to travel through, so the speed of sound is essentially zero.
How fast does a bullet travel from a m-16?
A bullet fired from an M-16 rifle typically travels at a speed of around 2,800 feet per second, which is approximately 853 meters per second.
How fast is the speed of sound in a vacuum?
The speed of sound cannot be measured in a vacuum because there is no medium for sound waves to travel through in a vacuum. Sound requires a medium such as air, water, or solids to propagate.
Why does sound travel so fast?
Sound travels fast because it propagates through a medium, such as air, by causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transfer energy. The speed at which sound travels depends on the density and elasticity of the medium - the denser and more elastic the medium, the faster sound can travel through it. In air at room temperature, sound travels at around 343 meters per second.
How fast do sound waves travel in kilometers per hour?
Sound travels at 1,225.044 kilometers per hour at sea level.

How fast does a .22 caliber bullet go?
Depends on the .22 cartridge, what weight bullet, and what it is fired in. Some .22s travel slower than the speed of sound (about 1100 fps) some high velocity 22 LR cartridges fired from a rifle reach muzzle velocity of 1750 fps with a 30 grain bullet. The .22 Magnum may reach 2200 fps with the 30 grain bullet.
