I don't know if this answer will satisfy you, but there is not much difference. Higher velocity is higher speed. But 1100 feet per second (appx) is the speed of sound, and guns that have a "subsonic" bullet are much quieter than guns whose bullets break the sound barrier at just a slightly higher velocity.
Answer:
To truly discuss firearm velocity issues would require the writing of a book, but it suffices to say that one of the usual differences is chamber pressures and barrel life. The super high velocity calibers such as the 220 Swift generate so much heat that the rifling can be worn from the barrel in as little as 3000 rounds, whereas a lower velocity round such as a 30.06 barrel has a longer barrel life.
The next obvious difference is trajectory. As it takes a certain velocity to break from the earth's gravity, the same holds true with bullets. The faster it is traveling to longer it takes for gravity to lower it from its aimed point.
Last, but not least. Hollow point bullets require higher velocities to properly expand and release more energy into it's intended target. This becomes a real issue when fired from a handgun.

What is the difference between an assault gun and a self propelled gun?
Both are tracked vehicles. An assault gun is usually a turret less vehicle, mounting a (usually) high velocity gun used in a direct fire mode, used for attacking an enemy position. A self propelled gun is usually an artillery piece (indirect fire), and is tracked to allow self propulsion.
How does a bullet fired from a gun have ahigh momentum?
Momentum = mass x velocity A bullet has a high momentum because its velocity is really high.
How high will a bullet go?
Depends on the area that you're in and the velocity of the gun itself
What is the Difference between muzzle velocity and recoil velocity?
Muzzle velocity is the velocity of a bullet as it leaves the firearm's barrel, while recoil velocity is the backward momentum that the firearm experiences when the bullet is fired. Muzzle velocity determines the bullet's speed and trajectory, while recoil velocity affects the shooter's ability to control the firearm during and after firing.
What did the sherman tank shoot?
The sherman tank was constantly upgraded throughout it's service history. With several variants in service simultaneously. During WW2 Originally intended for infantry support it used a medium (relative to it's time) velocity 75mm. A low velocity 105mm howitzer. A high velocity 76mm anti tank gun. A high pressure flamethrower. A high velocity 17 pounder anti tank gun. After WW2 Israel upgraded shermans with high velocity 75mm and high velocity 105mm guns.
What is difference between a trap gun and a field gun?
Mainly in the stock
How can calculate recoil velocity of gun?
The recoil velocity of a gun can be calculated using the principle of conservation of momentum. The formula to calculate the recoil velocity is: Recoil velocity = (mass of bullet * velocity of bullet) / mass of gun. This formula takes into account the mass of the bullet, the velocity of the bullet, and the mass of the gun.
What is the difference between summer and winter airsoft gas?
Summer gas pressure is higher, and so are velocities. The gun will shoot a bit high.
Difference between a trap gun and a sporting clay gun?
Stock dimensions and sights
What is the power of a pressure air gun?
it depends on the velocity set by an Allen key if someone set the velocity up very very high the gun will shoot much faster hurt much more but it will lose air much faster
What is the difference between 4 and 5 gun barrels?
One barrel
What is the difference between machine gun and sub-machine gun?
A sub-machine gun fires pistol cartridges. A machine gun fires rifle rounds.
