The math for slowing down bullets isn't quite the same as the math for speeding it up; take my previous example into account.

Adjusting your example; If bullets were 5/5 slower, that does NOT mean it takes the bullet 2 seconds instead of 1 second, which is a perfect example of why 1/5 slower means the bullet takes 1.25 seconds to reach you instead.

In the same way, +100% bullet speed wouldn't remove a full second from the 1 second travel time, only halve it.

Another example, you are about to run 100 meters, and you run at a consistent speed of 10 meters per second, this means you get done in 10 seconds.

However, moving at a speed of 8 meters per second( 80% of 10 m/s ) means you get there in 12,5 seconds.
