why artillery shells and bullet can accelerate so much faster than missile? they dont really have much more fuel , powder
Sprint missile have much higher acceleration rate compared to other SAM today , at 100 G
HIBEX missile have the highest acceleration rate of all missiles ever at 400 G
ICBM missiles and spacecraft can accelerate at 3G 
whereas
artillery shell can accelerate at 15 500 G
9 × 19 Parabellum handgun bullet can accelerate at 190,000 G

bullet and shell are not anymore aerodynamic than missiles so what is the reason ?
also Pilobolus fungi can accelerate spores at 20,000 Gs
