In the above gif, turbolaser bolts travel 2/3 the length (~35
feet in RW) of a Star Destroyer in ~0.2 sec.
35 x 5 = 175
175 feet per second equals approximately 119 mph. [1] For
comparison, a Nerf dart travels at about 30 to 45 mph. [2]

One of the bolts covers ~20 feet in 0.2 seconds.
20 x 5 = 100
100 feet per second is about 68 mph. [1]

Here a bolt travels from the front of the hanger to the bow in
about 0.2 sec. The distance it travels is about 21 feet, and so
it's moving at around 72 mph.

The bolts cover 3 feet in 0.1 seconds, so they're going 20 mph.
The TIE is going about 6 mph. Both are way too slow.
Confidence: 5/10 (prospective messes up scaling)
