Concept:

The Mach angle \( \mu \) is related to Mach number \( M \) as:

\( \sin \mu = \frac{1}{M} \Rightarrow M = \frac{1}{\sin 30^\circ} = 2 \)

Speed of sound:

\( a = \sqrt{\gamma R T} = \sqrt{1.4 \cdot 287 \cdot 300} \approx 347.15~\text{m/s} \)

Velocity of bullet:

\( V = M \cdot a = 2 \cdot 347.15 \approx 694.3~\text{m/s} \approx 280\sqrt{6} \)
