I just seen a mythbusters clip where a .45 acp bullet was dropped from roughly 3 feet and one was fired horizontally from a 1911 from the same height at the same exact time. The fired bullet landed at about 400 ft away. And, like the title says, it hit the ground the same time as the dropped bullet.
Im sure this has been discussed here somewhere. Im pretty simple. Im trying to wrap my simple head around the idea that 'does this only happen with a .45 acp traveling at about 825 fps?'
What if one were to drop say, a .22 bullet and fire a .22-250 traveling at 4000 fps at the same time, wouldn't it "hang" in the air longer and the bullet dropped would land before the bullet fired?
