“Response time for .357 Magnum: 14,200 feet per second “

I think you have an extra zero there. Only a few rounds do more than Mach 3...and Pistol rounds generally don’t do more than half that.

Missed it by a decimal point. You must have a PhD. They do it all the time. See global warming.

“Missed it by a decimal point. You must have a PhD. They do it all the time. See global warming.”

There was a major NOAA model output that had a 4 Septillion degree error in one month, that apparently made no difference in the graph. The model results were fairly widely used, and went undiscovered for years until they finally released the details.

Once upon a dark time, “sheep” were irrationally afraid for their lives, so the government in its profound wisdom, decided to make sure “sheep” had nothing to be afraid by registering & taking away the “fear.”

Actually, I underestimated the speed I’d need.

Uh-how. How ya like me now, smart guy. Notice how I refrained from piling on and mocking your obviously erroneous information. Let this be a lesson to you.

I’d need it to travel at .9999999999999999 C, at which time, an 11.7 gram bullet would weigh 641 tons.

Yeah. Drag and gravity can be a Melissa Harris-Perry.

Just think, though. If we could overcome drag and gravity, the bullet could travel through time and hit the target before you pull the trigger.
