Currently, the fastest commercially available rifle round is the 220 Swift, traveling at about 4200 fps (feet per second) with a 40 grain slug. Some "wildcat" or custom made rounds are faster, but not generally avaialble to the consumer in a rifle.

This depends on what you call a "gun." If you mean that the person firing it must hold the full weight of the weapon, stand and fire, then a Bazooka round is most likely the largest - (US M20A1) 89mm (3.51 inches). If you mean strictly "guns" (not rockets) then a custom made JDJ rifle at 0.950 mm is the largest (although 'holding it' can be debated).

The fastest air rifle is the gamo hunter ,the fastest air pistol is browning 800 mag i have tested and got 1055 f.p.s. with gamo raptors,725 with crosman premiers. Fine Point Knife Dist. in akron ,oh can make your gun go that fast.

well.....

This is actually a very hard question to answer. Airguns have been around since Lewis and Clark's days. They brought over a .31 cal PCP air gun that if I'm not mistaken was built by someone in the Beeman family and another gentleman who's name I do not recall. It was written in their journals that among all their weapons, this was their favorite one. It's a fact, research it.

The Gamo hunter is about average now a days. Nothing to get excited about. I own about 18 air guns and... I need to count, but over 25 firearms. I love the Break barrel springers made by RWS, and the collaboration between FWS and Beeman. I also have a .25 cal Benjamin Trail XP that uses a Nitrogen piston instead of a spring that will blow a dime size hole in a coons head at 40yds.

Two of my "Big Bore" air rifles were built, just for me, by hand in the USA by Dennis Quackenbush. Google his name. You will be shocked at what his guns are capable of. The insanity starts right at the homepage! One of mine shoots a .308 cal slug, the other a .50cal slug. These are called PCP (Pre-Charged Pneumatic) air rifles as mentioned earlier and work on the principle of very highly compressed air. My .50 can be filled to about 4000psi, and the .308 to about 3000psi. You can use a Scuba tank or a hand pump to fill them.

Now you want to know about power.. hehe. They both can get a number of shots off one fill, or just one shot. There are just so many variables to consider. What power level are you using? What weight slug? What game are you after? and so on. They have 3 settings, low, med, high. I have killed an 8pt buck at 75 yds with the .308 using about 1500psi. and a hollow point slug that weighed 456gr. He took the hit behind the left leg and on exit the bullet shattered his right shoulder. I'm pretty sure he was dead before he hit the ground. I tested the .308 on a 3K tank fill using 150gr polymer tipped slugs a few times at the local range. I got 6 shots on med and the slowest bullet was going about 850Fps,

The 1st however was screaming at 1100 fps! That's over 400fpe from an

air gun! And even the last shot still had more than enough power to take big game.

Go to you tube and search for big bore air gun + cement block. there's a video of a guy using a .45cal to knock a hole through a cinder block.

So as far as the fastest air gun or the most powerful... Who knows. That is pretty much impossible to answer.

What is the strongest clear or see-through substance known to man and how thick must it be to be considered bulletproof?

There is no one definition of strongest, and NOTHING is "bullet proof"- materials are "bullet resistant". Bullet resistance is defined in regard to specific weapons and ammunition, such as a 9mm handgun, 30-06 rifle firing M2 ball ammo, etc. The "strongest" material I have worked with was lexan polycarbonate, as glazing for the artillery fire adjustment bunker at the Ft. Benning GA range complex. THAT material was 12 layers, each 1.5 inches thick, and intended to protect the occupants of the bunker from repeated hits from 105mm howitzers firing high explosive shells. In some uses, multiple layers of glass are bonded with a high strength plastic.
