re: Canadian Sniper makes record kill shot at 3450 meters

I googled "Barrett .50 cal muzzle velocity". Google says the Barrett M82 has a muzzle velocity of 853 m/sec. With no velocity drop (which of course there would be after traveling over 2 miles), it would take 4.045 seconds to travel 3450 meters.
Also, maximum range is listed as 7450 yards. Maximum Effective Range is 2000 yards, so that Canuck was really working some magic.

Technically that's under 10 seconds.

A bullet will follow the laws of gravity no matter what linear speed it has.
