Abstract

 

This paper investigates the horizontal deviation due to gravity that would be experienced by a bullet fired from a rifle. The paper looks at the recent setting of a new sharpshooting distance record as a case study for the investigation. While the deviation quoted by the soldier involved significantly differed from that calculated we show that a significant deviation is measured.
