Default RE: More of a Physics Question

ORIGINAL: Jacob M

We are having a heated discussion in our office today about bullet trajectory, one person believes that when a bullet is fired on a completeley flat surface with no wind conditions and normal earth atmospheric conditions that the bullet will rise slightly before falling, does anyone know if this is true, if not true please provide the argument or maybe some facts to back it, he believes that there is a small rise right after leaving the barrell of the gun.

Hmmm...on most automatics the bullet would hit the ground before the cartridge...assuming barrel parallel to surface.
