    The bullet would not be generating an eddy current.

    The eddy currents are induced in the bullet by the magnetic fields as it passes through.

    It’s like a generator’s coil that doesn’t have anything attached to it. Because there’s nowhere for it to go, the eddy currents just dissipate when it leaves the magnetic field.
