Do sound waves affect bullet trajectory/precision at distance?

[iodine]

Dumb question, but I'm curious.

Do sound waves (or any waves, for that matter) affect bullet precision at ELR?

Subsonic transition will. When the bullets speed drops below 1150fps. Rendering the sound barrier with knock it off course

Or are you talking about blasting a stereo by the muzzle of your gat piece while 32 mils into shooting?

As a blanket statement that it just not true. Haven’t shot much ELR yourself have you?

Gravity, wind, and air density - overt physical influences on the bullet (or lack thereof) - affect the bullet so exponentially that any normal ambient and any non-deliberate affect man- or animal-made sound wave (or transmission wave) will not have a material impact on the trajectory of a bullet throughout its entire flight from release to 0 FPS. Key words "material impact" which implies perceivable or realistically/practically calculable impact. Sound waves can be used to levitate objects, but those ultrasonic waves are created with "deliberate affect". Some cool dude's big 15" subwoofers blasting Ludacris on a road nearby your range while a grandpa mule deer humps a doe like Ron Jeremy on the other side of your range isn't going to effect the bullet. The sound a nuclear bomb makes... okay, now we're talking. But then again, your bullet would likely melt in mid-flight right before you turn to dust, so... bygones.

That ultra sonic weapon was developed by skillex himself.
