Most modern guns DO fire bullets that break the sound barrier. That is, their bullets travel faster than the speed of sound when they are fired.

What is the mph that breaks the sound barrier?
The speed of sound is approximately 767 mph, so any speed faster than that would break the sound barrier. Typically, speeds exceeding around 760-770 mph are considered supersonic.
How fast do you have to go to brake the sound barier?
To break the sound barrier (Mach 1), you need to travel at a speed of approximately 767 miles per hour (1,234 kilometers per hour) at sea level. The exact speed can vary depending on factors such as air temperature and pressure.
Can commercial airplanes break the sound barrier?
The Concorde was a supersonic commercial airliner. However, due to flight accidents the Concorde is no longer in service. The typical cruise speed for a commercial jet is about 0.8 Mach. Of course, almost any plane with sufficient engines and built for speed can dive down and break the sound barrier---but it may not recover from this.
Can a liquid create a sonic boom when it breaks the sound barrier- For example a huge drop of water travelling faster than the speed of sound?
No, liquids cannot create a sonic boom when they break the sound barrier. Sonic booms are caused by the rapid change in air pressure when an object travels at or above the speed of sound in air. In the case of a liquid, there is no similar medium for such pressure changes to occur.
What is the meaning of to break the language barrier?
The "language barrier" is when two people (or groups of people) can't communicate properly because they do not speak any languages in common. When you break that barrier, you can communicate...so you would assume that they started learning each other's language, or a different common one.
Can you play the violin with an arrow?
no it wont make any sound or it will break the strings
What is a supersonic aircraft?
Supersonic aircraft are those that can exceed the sound barrier. I.e. Concorde was capable of this. Any craft that can exceed 1 to 5 times the speed of sound falls in this category.
How fast does an object have to go to break the sound barrier?
An object needs to travel at a speed of approximately 1,125 feet per second (or 768 miles per hour) to break the sound barrier in Earth's atmosphere. This speed is known as the speed of sound, and any object traveling faster than this speed creates a sonic boom.
Can Air Force One Break The Sound Barrier?
No, Air Force One is not designed to break the sound barrier. It is a modified Boeing 747 aircraft used as the official transportation for the President of the United States, and its speed is limited to subsonic levels for safety and efficiency reasons.
Are Crosman Silver Eagle Pellets any good could you rate them and tell me your opinion on them overall?
They are high-quality projectiles, and more accurate than most people holding the gun. they can break the sound barrier, which can (most likely will) effect accuracy if you gun is rated to go 1000 fps or more

How do you break a glass without touching it?
There are many ways to break glass without touching it. Here are a few methods: To do it with sound you need a sound that is a resonant frequencies of the glass you want to break. A sound that is the right frequency with enough volume will put energy into the glass and break it. Glass is one of the easiest materials to break using sound although any object can be broken using sound. A high enough air presure difference on glass surface will cause it to break. This is why they say to open windows when there is a tornado. Electricity at a high enough power can also break glass but it must overcome the non-conductive nature of glass before it will break. Even once you overcome the non-conductive nature of glass the heat generated by the electricity is what truly breaks it. Rapid temperature change (hot or cold) is the most common ways that glass is broken without any
