what is the formula to measure how fast a bullet can go?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the formula for measuring a bullet's speed, highlighting the inadequacy of a simplistic approach that neglects factors such as air resistance, bullet mass, and the force acting on the bullet. Participants emphasize that a comprehensive formula must account for these variables to accurately determine bullet velocity. The conversation concludes that without incorporating these essential elements, a valid formula for bullet speed cannot exist.
