9.8 m/sec^2 after reaching max altitude.

All objects fall at the same rate. Good shoot the monkey gravity and you will be amazed.

I'm not sure about the bullet question but the number of posts on the OT before you can get a reasonable response appears to be 14.

You're gonna want to go get yourself a gun, a stopwatch and an open area.

Gravity isn't the culprit at Coors...

Hence why baseballs flew out of Coors Field in Denver better than anywhere else in the majors.


Could that be in part, due to less dense air?

Nope. The balls are fleeing from the shitty beer.

Lack of humidity is, which is taken into account when sighting rifles in for long range shoot, hence the balls being kept in a humidor. I was just trying to use it as an example although it was not a good one.

If they used a real monkey it would have been more entertaining

A pretty good rule of thumb is just go by the caliber. If you shoot a fully rigged Black Death assault rifle-15 it'll take 5.56 seconds to go up in the air, come down and kill 86 babies.
