It would depend on a lot of factors (type of gun, environment, what direction the wind was blowing, etc...) Sound carries very efficiently over water; my grandmother lives on a beach and when the wind is right, you can even hear human voices from the islands three-quarters of a mile or so over the water.

Absolutely. Bullets can also travel that far depending on the gun and bullets. One came into my back yard from a shooting range about 2 miles away.

Alot depends, it is my understanding that depends on these following physical things:
What gun was shot?
How far you are away?
What is in between you and the gun? (ex, air, forest, etc)
Whether or not a silencer was used?
There is a theory that you can hear the bullet before you hear the sound wave of the gun itself?

Yes, we have a gun club in our town and we can hear them on the firing range whenever we're hiking the local trails which are about 4 miles away...

Could be heard depending on lots of other information.

Absolutely. Of course, it depends on the conditions. For example, you wouldn't hear it in NYC, but you'd hear it in the countryside.
