What was the fastest shot?

Answer 1

The biggest rifle round

The British 4 Bore Double Rifle has the biggest bullets. It's ammunition ranged from .935 and 9.55 That's about a .93 or .95 calibre. The bullet weighs about a quarter pound (1800 grams) which is (about) twice that of a .50 cal bullet. And man, trust me.....those Rifles have a "little" recoil. Hope that helps.

The biggest round

The largest round is from the doras German rail road cannon. Biggest cannon in the world, as well.

Answer 2

Voyager 1 as the most distant man-made object at 10.8 billion miles is on a ballistic trajectory through space and having just left the heliosheath which defines the edge of our solar system.

Coming to ordinary bullets as out of a rifle, weapons made by Barrett Firearms Manufacturing and similar arms makers fit your question.

From these sniper weapons, muzzle velocities over 3000 fps are achieved. Competition is fierce at this level, and there are frequent name changes at the top.

Answer 3

That's a good question, because even the really big guns (cannons) shoot a bullet-like projectile called a shell, or a round.

At what point does a bullet become a shell? For sure, up to .50 caliber is considered a bullet, while the slightly larger 20mm is likely considered a shell by most. Then there are some older elephant guns which probably have more in common with shotgun slugs.

There are some .577, .580, .585 caliber and .620 caliber rifles from the late 1800's. In the 1980s and 1990 there was a .700 Caliber Nitro Express. This is likely as large as there is for a production gun.

There is a balance between projectile size/speed and the amount of recoil a typical person can withstand.

The U.S. considers anything larger than a .50 Cal to be a weapon of destruction, or something like that. It would require special licensing to puchase/own a weapon larger than .50 cal.
