I saw when they tried to fuse a big rig and a small Euro car together by drag the big rig into it at like 70mph. That was cool but it didnt work.

I would also think it would be hard to replicate the type of scope a Vietnamese sniper would have used. It would probably have been made in China and made of inferior materials.

T... and gravity (maybe a constant); assuming shot perfectly parallel to a surface.

It isn't TRULY a constant... depends on the distance from the mass center of the Earth, but for calculation purposes acceleration due to gravity is deemed a constant of 32.2 ft/s^2.
If you are doing a calc that requires more precision, there is a formula to convert based on elevation above sea level.

The time it would take for a bullet to fall to the ground can easily be determined by t=mgh.

Wow, I feel reeeaaaallly stupid. One thing I was never able to grasp was math. You guys are speaking in tongues not known to me.:eek:hmy:
