Guys,

I'm curious to work out how far a bullet will travel when fired at a certain angle but to be honest have not got a clue where to start! I assume you would have to know the weight of the bullet, the speed it travels at, the angle and also take into consideration gravity and friction as the bullet travels thru the air.. Does anyone know of a formula? Or could any of you give me a few suggestions pease?

Thanks for your Help,

Alan.

its a little program that has all of their rounds' ballistic information. its extremely flexible and you can input any information you want, like the angle of fire...
