So you are saying the bullet rises even then when it comes out of the barrel??


Yea the bullet rises. Go look at any trajectory for a 5.56 or like round. I'm not sure if subsonic bullets rise and fall, but all super-sonic bullets do to some degree.

Only if the barrel is pointing up (which it typically is when firing at most target). Physics dictates a ballistic projectile fired parallel to the ground will begin to drop immediately, barring any upward wind, following the exit from the barrel
