if the atmosphere was equal, then it would range out straight for a longer distance.

If you take a bullet and drop it from the same height as the muzzle of the rifle and fire a bullet at the same time, parallel to the ground, they will both hit the ground at the EXACT same time. One at your feet, one way down range, depending upon it's velocity.
This is the result of gravity.
This would be true no matter what planet you were on.
So, since it will take longer for both bullets to hit the ground, due to the lower gravity, the fired bullet will travel farther with less gravity.

The bullet will go further than it does on the earth. If you fire a bullet in a place having no gravity (space), it will not stop.

it will travel farther than it will here on earth. in zero gravity, it will continue on forever until something stops it.

it would travel a lot farther before falling to the ground.

would travel further and with less drop
