Why 500 elo feels like 1100

I mean I have 500 elo bullet and 1100 elo rapid chess, and my opponents on 500 elo feel so strong. And I was told that many are cheating, but not every single one, right? In some games, I make big mistakes due to time, ok. But still I checked some games where I did no material blunder and only blundering complicated tactics, but my opponents find the tactic in 3 seconds, and thats the 500 elo

Bullet is a whole different beast than rapid. It is very common for there to be a large discrepancy/spread in an individuals rating between the different time controls.

well, I checked the accuracy and its about the same I have on rapid. But I think its more logical, that on 500 elo bullet lowers the accuracy, so really dont know about that. I know my friend that played 500 elo bullet and the pieces just moved randomly. So thats weird for me
