I've measured the bullet speed by syncing the raptor with the bullets and it seems that Newtonian bullets go 2 mph and relativistic ones (level 35) only 1.4 mph?

Different cannons shoot bullets at different speeds. Check out the (bonus) level 40 to just play around with a few different cannons at once, and see that their speeds stay constant whichever view you select.
I wanted to let the bullets have different speeds to change the 'strength' of the relativistic effects. For example, making the ones in level 9 move really, really fast so you couldn't pass through them without using a little relativistic trick.
