So my kid asked How fast can a bullet go?

I think the best answer to how fast a bullet can go is:

Not quite as fast as Superman........

I'm SO fast I can turn out the light and jump into bed before it goes out.

I recall reading about a military rail gun that could hurl something around 14,000 fps. The projectile was small as you might expect.

I hurled on a policeman's shoes once.

The sum of the cyclic hypotenuse and any two angles of tensor vertices is equal to the co-tangent of the obtuse seraphim yielding ft lbs of energy.

I bet that line got you lots of chicks at the bar in college.

..........The projectile was small as you might expect.

And she said?

And she said?

She said you don't understand what I said

Then there is the "throwing a pop can out the window" of the space shuttle speed.
