I don't think so, no. Kinetic energy grows with the square of velocity, and linearly with mass. So a 14g bullet travelling at 316km/h or a 1.4g bullet travelling at 1000km/h. But for what it's worth, I think most people have more experience catching baseballs than bullets (and I don't know how much bullets typically weigh or how fast they travel).
