Interesting stuff....is there actually an effect on an object when it goes from sonic speeds to subsonic??? I know when it breaks that barrier, it creates a sonic boom...but..does it do anything other than slow down??? Or is it possible that cerain slugs and bullets just don't fly well once they slow down?? I have no idea....just asking if there is a reverse effect when a bullet goes from sonic to sub sonic.....
