Post A question about concorde

I was asked this question by a friend and couldn't give an answer so I put it to the members of pprune

Concorde is capable of traveling faster than a bullet so, if someone was to stand at the back of a plane while traveling at the speed of sound and shot a bullet what would happen?
Would it...
shoot though the front of the plane
or shoot through the back as the plane (which is travelling faster) overtakes the bullet
