If it can sustain a speed of ~25,000 mph, it will shoot perfectly flat in relation to the surface of the Earth... which won't be a flat trajectory, really, but rather a circular track some 8000 miles in diameter. Remember to duck about an hour later...

LOL! That's funny as heck!
Unfortunately, you didn't take drag into account. I guess one could get far enough away from the surface of the earth and the effects of the atmosphere until the desired velocity would do the same thing. How high would I need to be to shoot a bullet and have it orbit at 950 fps?
