  • Ok, I’ll bite. What kind of rifle bullet makes a whizzing sound as it goes past your ear? When I shot rifles in cadets, sitting down in the bunker at the far end of the range, the bullets made a loud BANG as they flew overhead. It’s terrifying. They’re travelling faster than the speed of sound. He’d have jumped out of his skin, not heard a whizzing sound and reached for his ear.

  • I think suppressed / silenced rounds are sub sonic?

    I haven’t been shot at, so my first thoughts go to films where bullets make whizzing noises.

    If the shooter was 150m away, the actual shot would only have been heard half a second after he was shot.
    Don’t know when any sonic waves are heard.
