Well, I have that bad cold/flu that is going around and I was doing what I always do when I am feeling down to help me feel better--thinking about guns. I started thinking about this factory 9mm ammo I have that moves at 1300 fps. I then started thinking about how fast this really is.
The world record 1/4 mile time for a top fuel dragster is 4.42 seconds at 336mph.
My 9mm projectile moves 1300 fps, and a 1/4 mile is exactly 1,320 feet.

It is amazing that a car can move 1/4 the speed of a 9mm bullet hauling the mail!
I just find this amazing and thought i would send my revelation out to all of you. The guys that build up those hot rods must be very proud of themselves.
