  • Bullet Drop Calculation: Distance & Impact - Accurate Formula & Result
    The formula to calculate the drop from line of sight is:

    ```

    Drop = (1/2) * g * (v^2 / (v^2 + r^2))

    ```

    where:

    * g = acceleration due to gravity (32.2 ft/s^2)

    * v = velocity of the bullet (3000 ft/s)

    * r = distance to the target (7500 ft)

    Plugging in the numbers, we get:

    ```

    Drop = (1/2) * 32.2 * (3000^2 / (3000^2 + 7500^2))

    Drop = 805 ft

    ```

    Therefore, the bullet will drop 805 feet from the line of sight at a distance of 7500 feet.
