By the time this particular 50-cal bullet reached its target 2.2 miles away, it was no longer traveling even at the speed of sound, and sound was catching up to it fast.

Something of which I didn't consider in my back-of-the-envelope calculations Agree, so many other factors also involved, some of which I cited, others I wouldn't have a clue about (rotation of the planet) to include.

I'm also guessing for a variety of reasons that the terrorist goat-humper didn't hear the shot but it'd be nice if he had a "what the he...." before his brains got splattered.

It's a pleasant thought anyway!

Thanks for your post.

Ahh the Coriolis Effect (rotation of the earth causing the target to move out of the way of rounds fired longitudinally ) https://loadoutroom.com/thearmsguide/external-ballistics-the-coriolis-effect-6-theory-section/

Anyway for those of us that believe in a just God and though we do not celebrate a lost soul in any way, this “terrorist goat-humper” will probably have an infinity of time to lament the deeds that have landed him wherever he is now and will be forever. Pray for his victims.
