What is the speed at which a bullet travels?

The speed at which a projectile must travel to penetrate skin is 163 fps and to break bone is 213 fps, both of which are quite low, so other factors are more important in producing damage. (Belkin, 1978) Designing a bullet for efficient transfer of energy to a particular target is not straightforward, for targets differ.
