It depends on a number of factors including propellant charge, bullet weight and barrel length.
Handgun muzzle velocities range from about 750 feet per second and 1350 fps. Ordinary rifles go up to about 3,000 fps. Some specialty rounds go above that.
For an idea of the variation: using the same 357 Magnum round, a snub-nosed revolver will eject the bullet at 1,100 fps, a match revolver at 1350 fps and a 16" barrel rifle at 1,850 fps. Your standard-issue .45 cal pistol ammo has a muzzle velocity around 850 fps.

What is the Difference between muzzle velocity and recoil velocity?
muzzle velocity is the velocity of bullet and recoil velocity is the velocity of gun.
Define trAjectory of the bullet velocity of the bullet velocity?
Bullet trajectory is the path the bullet travels once it leaves the barrel. Bullets travel on a long arch and cross the line of sight twice. Once shortly after leaving the barrel and once again on target assuming the sights are properly zeroed. This is the trajectory of the bullet. Bullet velocity is the speed at which the bullet is traveling along it's trajectory.
How does gravity affect the velocity of a fired bullet?
Gravity adds 32.1 feet per second to the bullet's downward velocity every second after the shot is fired.
When a rifle with a longer barrel is fired the force of expanding gases acts on the bullet for a longer distance what effect does this have on the velocity?
To a point, the velocity of the bullet will increase. However, at some point, the gasses driving the bullet have maxed out, and beyond that point, the bullet will begin to slow from friction with the barrel. For a .22 LR cartridge, that length is about 12 inches. Larger cartridges have a greater "Max velocity" length, but there is a point of no more gain, and the start of loss of velocity.
How reduce velocity of bullet in air?
Shoot in a heavy fog

How does a bullet fired from a gun have ahigh momentum?
Momentum = mass x velocity A bullet has a high momentum because its velocity is really high.
How does gravity affect the velocity of a fired bullet?
Gravity adds 32.1 feet per second to the bullet's downward velocity every second after the shot is fired.
Is it possible to shoot a bullet into space from the ground on earth?
Yes, if the bullet is shot with escape velocity.
Can bullet proof glass withstand a 1000 fps bullet?
It depends on the thickness of the glass and the muzzle energy of the bullet, not just the velocity.
What happens to the velocity of bullet if there are two or more targets?
velocity decrease and at last it becomes zero.
What is a sentence you could put the word velocity?
"The velocity of the bullet was 300 metres per second."
How powerful is 10-22 bullet?
It fires a 22LR projectile. "Power" will depend on bullet weight and velocity.

What is the momentum of a bullet fired from a gun?
It is known as the Velocity (speed).
