Everyone should note (and Cheesehawk has wisely pointed out) that this is the speed of the bullet as it leaves the barrel, which is something like Mach 3.5 at sea level. The bullet will decelerate rapidly during the time it takes to leave the barrel and strike the target.

Sorry I'm not going to sit around and wait for History Channel/Discovery Channel to play the particular show, record it for you, rip it and post it on the net. Nor will I go to the library and find the books, scan them and upload them either.

Try some research outside of google and wikipedia for a start

Isaac Newton is turning in his grave.

And knocking over tanks with machine guns? A very close miss of a 500 Lbs bomb could do it but not bullets.
And where would one find that info that is not on Google or Wikipedia? Can you give the title of the book or the name of the show? Maybe we have to dig at the end of the rainbow?
School system really sucks this days.

This from the guy who won't educate himself on the physics of the train-flipping thing and expects us to do the math for him?

I'm just re reading The Hardest day by Alfred Price, and it is clear that you cant always rely on pilots testimony, he describes one German bomber that was claimed by up to 4 pilots, all had attacked it and seen it go down smoking, so all gave factual accounts of what they saw, it was what they didnt see that was the problem, how would a pilot know for sure that when he attacked the Tiger tank it wasn't also under artillery attack at the same time, it's that old fog or war.

As for the cannons or bullets knocking a train off a track, well that's just not possible, unless of course the boiler explodes or a shell may damage the tracks and derail it but most times you would think the boiler would be hit from the top and just let off a huge fountain of steam.
