1.) Any gun that can be usefully fitted with a silencer is firing the bullet at subsonic speeds.
2.) A Rainboom hits at least mach one, and possibly mach five.
Conclusion: Rainbow Dash is faster than at least some speeding bullets.
She doesn’t need to leap over tall buildings, she can straight-up fly.
“More powerful than a locomotive.” she MIGHT be, but really that is more the provinence of AJ (catching and tossing a huge boulder), Maud Pie (tossing a possibly smaller boulder so hard it causes a mushroom cloud, and a small tsunami in a lake, plus jack-hammering the rock to save Pinkie), and Big Mac (pulling a house off its foundations with barely a hint of effort).
…then again, RainNUKEing AJs old barn and cracking a cliff face by flying into it backwards, might count.
Final conclusion: No “kinda” about her, so the shot giving that vibe totally makes sense.

Kinda super-hero-y.
