How much would a bullet have to slow down to be visible to humans?
Problem is not the speed, it is speed coupled with the very small size of a bullet. Tracer ammunition is readily visible to the human eye because of the bright dot of flame at the rear of the bullet. On sunny humid days, it is possible (if you know what to look for, and where) to observe the white vapor trail behind a .30 cal rifle bullet traveling over 2000 fps. It is called the "trace" of the round- caused when air expands back into the tunnel of vacuum the bullet just drilled into the air- and water vapor is briefly visible when it cools quickly. BBs are usually visible to a shooter, but air rifle pellets are not, so split the difference in speed, and it may be visible. Probably faster than 350 fps, but slower than 550.
If a bullet travels at 1100 fps how far would a 50 caliber travel?
a s.w.50 caliber or ( special weapons ) also known as the snipers weapon and is about 5.45" in length, either it has a red, black, silver or blue tip That really didn't answer the question. Here is what you need to consider when trying to answer this question. #1 What is the weight of the bullet? If you're talking about a 750 grain .50 BMG, then it would not travel very far. Is this a Beowulf .50 cal or a Browning Machine Gun .50 cal? You can get exterior ballistics software on-line to calculate exactly what your looking for.
What is the velocity of a bullet?
It depends on a number of factors including propellant charge, bullet weight and barrel length. Handgun muzzle velocities range from about 750 feet per second and 1350 fps. Ordinary rifles go up to about 3,000 fps. Some specialty rounds go above that. For an idea of the variation: using the same 357 Magnum round, a snub-nosed revolver will eject the bullet at 1,100 fps, a match revolver at 1350 fps and a 16" barrel rifle at 1,850 fps. Your standard-issue .45 cal pistol ammo has a muzzle velocity around 850 fps.
