Huh? This doesn't make physical sense. The bullet was traveling at airplane speed when fired, so in theory is going plane speed + bullet speed. Unless I'm misunderstanding things?

I imagine the bullet started out faster than the plane but, since it isn't actively propelled, it slowed down and the plane didn't. So less so that the plane was faster than the bullet and more that the plane was fast enough to catch up with the bullet before it fell to the ground. Edit: or just a totally made up tidbit, this is the internet after all
