Bullet velocity refers to the speed at which a bullet travels when fired from a firearm. It is typically measured in units of feet per second (fps) or meters per second (m/s). The velocity of a bullet depends on various factors, including the type of firearm, the caliber of the bullet, the type and weight of the bullet, the powder charge, and environmental conditions such as air resistance and temperature.

Different types of bullets and firearms can have vastly different velocities. For example, a typical handgun bullet may have a velocity of around 800 to 1500 fps (240 to 450 m/s), while a rifle bullet can have velocities ranging from 2000 to 4000+ fps (600 to 1200+ m/s) depending on the caliber and load.

Higher bullet velocities generally result in flatter trajectories, meaning the bullet will drop less over a given distance, and less time for the bullet to be affected by external factors such as wind. However, higher velocities also result in increased recoil and can have different effects on terminal ballistics, such as bullet expansion or fragmentation upon impact.

It's important to note that bullet velocity can be dangerous, and firearm safety rules must always be followed when handling firearms. Proper training and adherence to firearm safety guidelines are crucial to prevent accidents and ensure responsible firearm use
