No, the P-51 Mustang did not break the sound barrier. The aircraft's maximum speed was around 437 mph, which is below the sound barrier threshold of approximately 767 mph at sea level. While it was a highly effective and advanced fighter during World War II, it did not achieve transonic or supersonic speeds.

Has anyone ever crossed the sound barrier?

On foot? No. But the sound barrier has been passed in land and air vehicles. The sound barrier is also known as Mach 1, so anytime you hear mention of a vehicle travelling at a speed greater than or equal to Mach 1, or travelling at "supersonic" speeds, it's passed the sound barrier.

Can a Bullet break the sound barrier?

Yes, easily. That is why most bullets make that characteristic "crack" as they're fired. That's the sound barrier being broken. Ever heard a whip being cracked before? It sounds exactly like a gunshot for the reason that it's the same thing happening. That is why so called "silencers" sound nothing like they do in the movies. They are not that "silent" at all because you cannot get rid of the sonic boom. However, some ammo is subsonic, meaning it is designed to go slower than the speed of sound. Subsonic ammo/rounds do not make the distinctive "whipcrack" sound as far as I know.
