raimius said:Ah, not necessarily. Due to air friction, the bullet slows during flight, while acceleration due to gravity is constant. The arc will be flatter near the muzzle, and more vertical at the end of flight. If you take a ballistic computer and start plugging in numbers every 25 yards, you'll notice the drops get larger and larger per increment as you get to long ranges.
