Just for fun...............


Been around guns and owned them most of my life.Did a lot of reloading in pistol,riffle,and shotguns and have a pretty good understanding of the terms of velocity in feet per second.But today for some reason got to wondering how this related in Miles Per Hour,something we are all more familure with.I was thinking how fast in "MPH" do you have to be going to out run a bullet.

Seeing some of the tanks had had and used a 50-calibar machine guns I thought I would use a couple examples in converting
"FPS" to "MPH"...........

50-Cal leaving the barrel at........3,050 "FPS"....is traveling at .....2,079.5454545454545 "MPH".........
50-cal leaving the barrel at........2,930 "FPS"....is traveling at......1,997.7272727272727 "MPH"........


Found this kind of interesting and hope you do to.......

this was done with an on-line conversion service-put in "FPS" and get "MPH"...............
