      @seanthesheep Depends on the weapon system

        @mrdragon Gun. Nothing specific, I'm just sort of idly wondering.

          @seanthesheep Trust me, every weapons system is a different speed. The British SA80 A2 fired a 5.56 round at I believe... 900 Meters/Sec

            @mrdragon An SA80 is a rifle, right?

              @seanthesheep Yes, it's the standard British Army Rifle System.

                @mrdragon I know nothing of weapons of warfare. I'm more the bloke that plans what would happen if a nuke was set off x kilometres above the ground. (At 400Km, an ICBM could knock out the entire U.S. power grid)

                  @seanthesheep Ah, I've tried a few different ones, the GPMG was my fav. But I also loved the Demarco, But that's a little more unknown to me as it's a newer system coming in.
