How fast do these weapons fire

I'm not asking about fire rates of different weapons, but I'm asking how fast the projectiles travel.

-Bazookas?

-Gatling Guns?

-Machine Guns?
 
All of these generally have a projectile speed ranging from 250~290 meters per second for older models (subsonic+ speed), but i'm not well educated on something like this.

I'm sure a lot of projectiles can move Supersonic, but i don't know.
 
It likely varies by age, grade, and ammo. Modern military machine guns seem to be above 1000m/s or supersonic+ for instance, while modern rpgs seem to be in the range of subsonic to occasionally subsonic+. The Gatling gun seems to find itself within the transonic-supersonic range depending on the cartridge, while its more modern equivalents range from 800-1000+ m/s or the high end of supersonic to supersonic+. All this information is pretty easy to find through Wikipedia.
