Can you shoot lightning with a gun?

All you would need to do is install a capacitor that can hold a high enough voltage that the air around the electrical current becomes superheated, and you have a lightning gun.

Is thunder louder than a gunshot?

In fact, that’s exactly what it sounds like — not just one but multiple shots from a gun. The air around the lightning bolt expands faster than the speed of sound, which creates a shock wave of thunder. When you’re this close to the bolt, though, it sounds more like a bullet from a gun.

Thunder is created when lightning passes through the air. The lightning discharge heats the air rapidly and causes it to expand. Immediately after the flash, the air cools and contracts quickly. This rapid expansion and contraction creates the sound wave that we hear as thunder.

Is there anything faster than bullet?

WASHINGTON: The US military is developing a next-generation hypersonic jet plane that could fly at up to five times the speed of sound – faster than a bullet. However, the military’s new hypersonic vehicle will go even further, Mica Endsley, the Air Force’s chief scientist, told Military.com.

What travels faster than a bullet?

It’s the Bloodhound SuperSonic Car (SSC) and it has plans to hit the world land speed record at 1,000 mph. Made of titanium, carbon fiber and, like superman, is designed to go faster than a speeding bullet, the Bloodhound SSC has been painstakingly put together and tested over the better part of six years.
