[QUOTE="NATE40, post: 941867, member: 33416"] Gravity and its effects are not even 100% constant over land. Gravity varies on our planet owing to a number of factors. It's not perfectly spherical or uniformly dense. What’s more, gravity is weaker at the equator because of the outward centrifugal force produced by the Earth's rotation relative to the polar latitudes. And the higher you go, the further you are from the Earth’s center. All of these factors,shooting over water,snow,ice and earth locations. only add up to tens of milliseconds in bullet drops. Other enviromental factors have great effects on your bullet pathgun) [/QUOTE]
