Give me one credible source that backs up your claim.Just because missile far exceed the speed of a bullet later in its flight does not mean a missile is slower than a bullet at close range.
bullets gain their maximum speed almost instantly becuase of the kinetic energy...they actually slow down the longer the distance.

Check the issue again, you'll be surprised by the result 🙂 .
So, wait the board has no means of propulsion and the SS is actually making the board go that fast himself i.e. he can just fly around without his board at those speeds? I don't think is try at all. Clearly the board is doing some speed work. However, clearly by the same token SS has super speed reflexes to control dodge and fire the way he does when on his board.

Thor doesn't ride of Mjolnir, and he isn't very versatile when being pulled by it. Surfer is on his board.
But Thor can still exceed high speeds because of it, by the logic some posters use that would constitute as movement speed for Thor since it could be consider "another limb".

whoa getting snippy there huh? relax its a comic discussion. I couldn't find any sources relating to missile acceleration and I'm not gonna bother to look to hard for it. You can believe what you like, I don't give a shit.

Actually read the post I directed at you and this time understand it.
however the point in dispute is missile's speed in short range compared to a bullet
what exactly is a missile's speed say at 10 to 20 feet from moment of fire? I couldn't find the info. If you know, then post it. Since I think its speed at short distance is vastly different from the speed it eventually reaches, it's maximum speed.
