Bullets are fired at differents velocities. Generally longer barreled firearms fire bullets at higher velocities. The highest velocities among commonly used weapons were probably achieved by World War II era anti-tank rifles. German PzB 38 could fire bullets at 1210 meters per second.
As was said up there- depends on the bullet. A light loaded .45 pistol might be 900 feet per second, and a fast rifle bullet may be 4,500 feet per second.

∙ 9y agoA great way to calculate the velocity of a bullet is to use a high-speed camera to slow down the footage and measure the speed based on the distance traveled over time. This also works through a gun chronograph, which uses two sets of optic sensors that detect the bullet's passage and measures the difference between the two sensor pickups.

How is math used in snipering?
Snipers have to be able to calculate the direction of the bullet taking into account distance, speed (to include the arc that the bullet will travel), wind speed and direction, and the Coriolis effect. This all computes into a rather complex set of equations to accurately put a bullet on target.
Average bullet speed?

What is the highest speed of a bullet?

Which country is the originator of the high speed Bullet Train?
Japan is the original inventor of the high speed bullet train.
How many FPS does 1000 Foot-Pounds translate to?
That is sort of like asking how many miles per hour does 100 horsepower equal. Ft lbs is energy, and FPS is speed. There IS a formula to calculate the energy (in foot lbs) of a bullet, but to use that, you need to know SPEED in FPS, and WEIGHT (in grains) of the bullet. A 40 grain bullet at 1000 fps is pretty weak. A 400 gr bullet at 1000 fps can drop a moose.
How fast is a speeding bullet?
the highest speed a bullet can reach is 1500m/s
What is the speed of a 357 sig bullet?
Impossible to answer without knowing what bullet weight is.
