> Sorry to be pedantic, but modern rifle muzzle velocities are in the 1.2km/s range

what caliber do you have in mind for that?

Good point. The source I was looking at was talking about .22 caliber rounds. I looked around some more, and that seems to be the general range in which you can achieve those velocities, though that can include discarding sabot versions of 7.62x51mm ammunition (with the projectile ending up 5.56mm or smaller).
