What is Bullet Trajectory

BULLET TRAJECTORY

the path a bullet follows as it leaves a gun is called its trajectory But a bullet doesn't rise, or arc, as it leaves a gun. Instead, it immediately begins to drop because of the effects of gravity (and the loss of the gun barrel's support); it also slows down due to ar resistance. So how does a person shooting a gun manage to hit a target? Even though the bullet doesn't travel in an arc, the shooter still has an arc to take into

account. Skilled shooters often aim at a point slightly above the target while holding the barrel perfectly straight (although less-experienced shooters hold the barrel slightly raised and aim a little low). This point can be calculated and is, in the case of high-tech military artillery but nobody takes the time to do that on a shooting range. This skill comes with practice and a little trial and error.
