What is the speed of a bullet shot from a gun?

That is too broad of a question to answer definitively. Bullet velocity can range from a few hundred feet per second to several thousand feet per second depending on the gun and the specifications of the cartridge. Usually supersonic or mach 2 but this varies depending on the grain load the and the weight lead that is being shot. The speed of a bullet shot out of a gun is dependent on the type of gun being fired and the specifications of the cartridge. Using a rifle, cartridges are propelled at a much faster rate, at around 4000 ft per second. A hand gun will send the bullet out at around 600 feet per second.
