Best Answer

In modern weaponry (20th century and on), typical velocity for a rifle round fired from a common (i.e. not specialized) weapon ranges roughly between 900fps at the low end to approximately 4,400fps at the high end. Variables to tak into account are the amount of powder, the shape and weight of the bullet, and whether a sabot is used in the cartridge.
