A 0.22-caliber handgun fires a 27-g bullet at a velocity of 755 m/s. is the wave nature of matter significant for bullets?

All matter can exhibit wave-like behavior, but the question asks if it is significant. A bullet is a very, very large object compared to the light wave-particles where the wave nature is typically observed. So for an object of this magnitude, it is insignificant.
