[QUOTE="sea2summit, post: 1658557, member: 105720"] You're thinking about it wrong, the sonic boom does not follow the projectile, the sonic boom is made by the projectile. So very rough range estimation for "crack to bang" is teach yourself to count to six in one second. When you hear the crack start counting and the number you get to is the distance x100 meters to the shooter. Past 600 m there are many variables but mostly the bullet is slowing down and the sound is maintaining or catching up with the bullets speed so if it's still super sonic at 1k maybe you count to six and get the bang but the weapon is still 1k away if that makes sense. What most people think is a sonic boom is just the sound waves (sound of the engine for example) piled on top of each other because whatever is making the noise is traveling toward whoever is listening and the sound changes from the drone of an engine to a loud noise your brain can't identify then if it's coming at you really fast its a boom. A sonic boom is the actual shockwave created by something traveling faster than the sound waves (really the air) can get out of the way. [/QUOTE]
