Velocity to me is the speed the bullet exits the barrel of my gun.
Velocity is a vector, by definition it has a magnitude and direction. When you say the bullet leaves the barrel at 200 fps (or whatever is a reasonable speed) you're only giving the magnitude of the velocity vector.
Speed is what ever the rate is you are whatever is traveling.
This is actually correct.
It is gonna be hard to get used to thinking I am accelerating when I deploy that chute though.
You are experiencing a negative acceleration, or more accurately an acceleration opposite to the direction of your motion (positive or negative really depends on how you've set up the coordinate system).
