Gravity is always working so bullets are always falling. They don’t rise.

Space shuttle door gunners have this info. If it's not classified, I'm sure one would be glad to send you a copy.

First reply nailed it. There is less air friction at higher elevations, but very little difference in the pull of gravity.

Is the same. 10k isn't enough distance to even measure any difference in Gravity. In fact, the mass of the mountain you are on would offset any difference in Gravity, and it might even be slightly higher. Air density and temperature have more of an impact. |

Acceleration of gravity does vary a little at different locations on the earth, something like 32.0 ft/sec/sec to 32.4 ft/sec/sec.
But the thinner air of higher elevation should make a more noticeable difference. The bullet will lose less velocity as it travels because of less air molecules it has to push through. |

It’s cold at elevation.
Bullets are hot out of the barrel. Heat rises.

While 10,000 feet makes no difference on ballistics as far as gravity is concerned it makes you wonder about the ballistics in zero g.
If you shoot a bullet in space would it have a flat trajectory? |

Altitude doesn't change it much at all, shooting angle is a different story though.

He probably saw one of those Earth gravity charts with the pretty colors but failed to notice the difference is in the hundredths of m/s2.
And actually at higher elevations you have more mass beneath you so there is MORE gravity.... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Altitude and being on a mountain are two different things. The mountain has mass. You would really need to include the mass in the equation to do it right. So you'd need to do the whole square of the distances and gravitational constant calculation Again air density has more impact than any gravity difference. I do agree with your second point and would more than likely make a sea level chart, then go shoot at altitude and see the difference and find the ratio and adjust accordingly. |
