A sniper bullet travels faster than the speed of sound, causing you to be hit before hearing the gunshot.

Both claims were evaluated using web evidence regarding the speed of sniper bullets. The first claim about sniper bullets traveling faster than sound is well-supported by evidence that shows some sniper bullets reach speeds around 4,100 to 4,300 feet per second, while the speed of sound in air is approximately 1,125 feet per second. The second claim, suggesting you would be shot before hearing the sound, logically follows from the first when you consider the faster-than-sound speed of the bullet. However, web evidence for this particular scenario is primarily anecdotal and not definitive. Hence, while the concepts are generally accurate, the certainty for the second claim is slightly reduced due to the lack of strong, direct evidence.
