I've seen numerous examples where the De Broglie wavelengths of macroscopic objects such as bullets and baseballs have been calculated. However, in each case, the objects are moving fast and the corresponding momentums are large, resulting in tiny De Broglie wavelengths. What happens if you slow the bullet down to almost a stop. It's momentum is now small, so why doesn't it have a measurable wavelength?
