This video will give you an idea of how quickly things likely imploded, and they never even got to the kind of pressures they would have experienced in that sub

  It seems the bullet is likely faster, bullet moves about 2.6 feet per millisecond which is more than enough distance traveled to kill a human, but the sub takes about 29 milliseconds to implode and kill occupants.

    Just speculation, but since the majority of the hull was made by carbon fiber - it depends on how that carbon fiber imploded / collapsed. So far they've found the titanium parts, which are the front- and end parts. If they don't find any huge chunks of carbon fiber, I think it is safe to say that the fiber splintered like a bomb, inwards, like a bomb. And many of those fibers would still projectile in air, at the very moment of the implosion. Imagine carbon fiber shrapnel from the inside of the hull traveling toward the center of the hull.

      Yes, the splinters would likely be moving faster than a bullet, it would be like getting shot with a very powerful shotgun point blank.
