Calculate Maximum Bullet Range





Formula

The formula to calculate the maximum bullet range (R) is:

\[ R = \frac{v^2 \sin(2\theta)}{g} \]

Where:

Example

Let's say the initial velocity (v) is 800 m/s, the launch angle (θ) is 45 degrees, and the acceleration due to gravity (g) is 9.81 m/s². Using the formula:

\[ R = \frac{800^2 \sin(2 \times 45)}{9.81} \]

We get:

\[ R = \frac{640000 \times 1}{9.81} \approx 65229.36 \, \text{meters} \]

So, the maximum bullet range is approximately 65229.36 meters.
