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.
