What are you talking about? We didn't see "flare-like missiles" until she switched. Before then, we couldn't get a speed on her shots, because they were 1 foot away, with her punches. The special red ones she switched to, to use against the twins were flare-like missiles, and were obviously going much slower than 500 m/s, seeing as you could easily track them with your eyes (if their target wasn't 1-2 meters away)
