@andrewducker "bullet train" indeed; that's getting into the range of feasible muzzle velocities, for a musket at least.

@andrewducker Expected to be 400km/h in normal service. FWIW, the French got a tech-demo train on new track up over 570 km/h in a test run, but aren't close to that in normal service. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TGV_world_speed_record
