More than three times the speed of sound? What does that translate into in feet per second?

I’d say that’s about 2,800 feet per second.

About 3228 fps at standard temp. (68 F) and pressure (30 inches of mercury). So probably a bit less if significantly above sea level.

Speed of sound varies with altitude, at sea level it is 1056 fps. So 3 * 1056 = 3168. Article said 3 seconds to travel 1.5 miles so 7920 /3 = 2640. Since the bullet would slow down during flight I’d say mussel V is close to 3,000+ fps.
