Transonic effects come into play starting about Mach 1.2, as the bullet drops below 1340 fps. What happens when the bullet slows to transonic speed, i.e. when the bullet slows to about 1340 feet per second? It is getting close to the speed of sound, close to the sound barrier.
At what speed does a bullet go subsonic?
Subsonic ammunition is ammunition designed to operate at velocities below the speed of sound, which at standard conditions is less than 273 m/s (900 ft/s) or Mach 0.80.
What is the transonic range?
In aeronautics, transonic refers to the condition of flight in which a range of velocities of airflow exist surrounding and flowing past an air vehicle or an airfoil that are concurrently below, at, and above the speed of sound in the range of Mach 0.8 to 1.2.
