The maximum speed of the space shuttle is 7,743 m/s.

The maximum velocity of a 220 swift is 4,000 ft/s or 1,219 m/s

Therefore the Space Shuttle is a little over 6 times faster "than a speeding" bullet.

Is a rocket faster than a bullet?

It can be. A bullet is traveling at the greatest speed when t leaves the barrel, and immediately starts to slow down. A rocket starts slowly, and moves faster and faster as the engines burn. To achieve orbit, the Space Shuttle would accelerate from zero to a speed of almost 28,968 kilometers per hour (18,000 miles per hour), a speed nine times faster than the average rifle bullet.
