By Newton's 2nd law Force applied is proportional to the rate of change of momentum which varies with mass and acceleration of the object being fired. So in the case of a bullet, You have more mass compared with air and hence it can create a force (F=ma) which will penetrate the body which is not the...

Why is only the speed of light constant in all frames of reference?

The only thing that affects the speed of light is the refractive index of the medium through which it moves, and for space, this number is 1.000000 and gives you the maximum possible speed of light.
