Default Concorde Vs Bullet

Next time you're on a plane, toss a bag of peanuts to someone in front of
you.

Never knew you could throw a bag of peanuts 500MPH, did you?

A friend and I were having a debate on a rumour that we once heard.
The rumour went along the lines, If concorde (or and other supersonic
aircraft for that matter) was fitted with guns then the bullets would
not be able to leave the muzzle or it would shoot itself if it fired
them while cruising. Assuming that the bullets velocity and the speed
of the aircraft are the same, what are your thoughts on what would
happen?
