[QUOTE="CAR-AR-M16, post: 1312033, member: 204"] Maximum range depends upon muzzle velocity, barrel elevation, and bullet design. In a vacuum a firearm would achieve its absolute maximum range at an elevation of 45°. However, with typical small arms projectiles the effect of air resistance is so great that maximum range is usually obtained at a departure angle of between 29° and 35°. Here is some data for the cartridges you asked about. 9 mm +P (124gr) - 1930yds (1.09 miles) 45ACP +P (230gr) - 1650yds (0.93 miles) [/QUOTE]
