Do you guys remember that scene in Iron Man 2, when Iron Man and War Machine are in that dome thing, about to fight Whiplash?

War Machine SHOOTS Whiplash, there was a bang, so I'm assuming an sonic boom happened. War Machine is standing no more than 60 meters from Whiplash. And this is being generous.

If the speed of sound is about 343 m/s in dry air, then it would take at most .17 seconds for the bullet to reach Whiplash, yet he has more than enough time to react and pull his helmet down.

There are about a million laughable things that could never happen in this movie, but this one bothered me.

Does this happen to anyone else?
