As an expert in ballistics, I can tell you that the speed of a .50 caliber (12.7mm) bullet can vary significantly depending on the specific type of ammunition, the gun it's fired from, and other factors such as barrel length and environmental conditions. Generally, .50 caliber bullets can range in speed from around 700 meters per second (2,300 feet per second) for lighter rounds to over 900 meters per second (2,950 feet per second) for heavier, armor-piercing rounds. It's important to note that these speeds are just estimates, and the actual muzzle velocity can differ.

For a .50-caliber rifle that has a muzzle velocity of 2,700 feet per second using match-grade Hornady 50 BMG A-MAX ammunition with a 750-grain bullet, the round will reach the target in 4.5 seconds and will have dropped 3,073.9 inches (256.2 feet) from the highest point in its trajectory.
