I wonder how the sound would work?
I wrote a story where one scene had a rifle shot from just under a mile away. I don't shoot, and did what research I could under the deadline - characters heard the sound of the impact, and then the sound of the actual report shortly afterward. But I wonder if when it's that far away, if the report wouldn't have been audible at all.
- gibspaulding 4y agoThey mention in the article that by the end of it's flight, the bullet is flying subsonically and that their bullet is optimized for that subsonic flight so I wonder if that forms a significant portion of the flight time. If so you could have the sonic boom start to catch back up with the bullet and not get as much delay as at a closer range.
