Once a bullet is launched its trajectory is
determined by
its velocity, shape and weight.

Now let’s go
through this step by step looking at three
parts: time aloft, maximum height and horizontal distance. This
is all done assuming no wind or air resistance.
Time aloft
Max height
1. If θ<0 the max height is just the initial height.
2. Next take the t from time aloft and plug that into a height equation
y = v(i) x sin(θ) x t - 4.9 t^2
Distance
1. Calculate the bullets initial horizontal velocity by using v(i) x cos(θ).
2. Plug in t from when the bullet reaches y(f) into the distance formula.
x(f) = v(i) x cos(θ) x t
3.
