bullet speed
Projectile travel rate
Bullet speed is the velocity at which a projectile travels after being fired from a gun, typically measured in feet per second or meters per second.
The phrase appears in ballistics discussions and video game mechanics: The bullet speed on that rifle is insane.
Figuratively, bullet speed describes anything moving extremely fast: He crossed the room at bullet speed.
