a bullet loses velocity from the moment the gunpowder ignites and sends it flying a bullet loses velocity from the moment the round leaves the barrel.

Or before if all the propellant is burned before the projectile leaves the barrel.
In another historical artillery note. I wonder if rail-guns will now be described by the weight of the projectile they launch, as used to be done with British cannon. The rail-gun described in the article would be a 25 pounder.

Right. Since the bullet is still at the moment of ignition, it has to gain a whole lot of velocity before it starts losing velocity.

a bullet loses velocity from the moment the round leaves the barrel. This is true, but the bullet isn't flying until it's out of the end of the barrel and no longer in contact with the lands and grooves. The original statement is true on its face.
