If two bullets are fired horizontally from the same place and at the same time which one will hit the ground first - the faster one the slower one both at the same time or does mass play a role?

If you don't take into consideration the curvature of the earth, both should hit the ground at the same time. Both bullets would be affected by gravity at the same rate, (32 ft/sec/sec) even though the horozontal vector is greater, the vertical is identical.
IF you have a bullet that is going fast enough to travel far enough to be affected by earths curvature, the faster bullet would hit the ground later.

What bullets travel faster than the speed of sound?
Almost all of them. The question is, what bullets travel SLOWER than the speed of sound? They're called "subsonic" bullets, and special operations units buy them for their silenced guns.
What is faster a bullet or the plane concord?
It depends on which bullet. According to Wiki, the Concord can travel at 1330 MPH, which converts to approximately 1950 feet per second. Some bullets travel faster than that, some travel slower, especially bullets fired from handguns.
