Wow. At that distance the target must have been standing like a statue; just a foot or two either way and it it would have missed.
Incredible shot.

770 mph, Never heard it coming either
To: Red Badger
Ten seconds to target!..............................Another example of premier journalism. They meant at the speed of sound, the sound of the muzzle blast, if heard even at all, would not have reached the target for 10 full seconds. Geesh!

And from that distance you actually have to account for the curvature of the Earth.
A shot made round the world.

That means:
1) If you assume a flat Earth, and Earth is in fact spheroidal ... you'll miss.
2) If you assume a spheroidal Earth, and Earth is in fact flat ... you'll miss.
Very Interesting.

Um, no, actually. Even at Advertised muzzle velocity 805 m/s (2,641 ft/s), it would have taken almost 6 seconds.
Add in wind drag, etc...
