And anything fired from around 45 degrees angle,, returns to earth at etreme range, very close to muzzle velocity.

Care to back that up with a source? Very close to muzzle velocity? that’s BS

I found a link for calculating maximum distance for a bullet. I think, from my old physics days, that maximum distance for a projectile occurs at 45 degrees. It appears there is a significant reduction in velocity.
