“Bullet Fired vs. Bullet Dropped”
It just shows that earth's gravitation pull was constant for the two bullets.
I get that.
But can any level of “rifling” change this ?
I doubt it can change the “Gravity” aspect, but can it change or improve the velocity ?
I mean, we hear about these snipers that take out their targets from a mile away. At what point, over what distance will the bullet lose the velocity required to get the job done?
A bullet dropped from 30,000 feet will reach terminal velocity and may or may not be deadly. A bullet fired from a gun starts out well ahead of terminal velocity but at some point will be reduced to such.
What is that number/distance when the physics take over and make the “fired” round ineffective?
