How high up will an M4 bullet go?

Question

How high will an M4 bullet go? If I shoot an M4 straight up in the air, how high up will it go?

Answer 1

The M4 cqb has a muzzle speed of
· Muzzle speed 340-360 Foot Per Second 0.2G BB


With no air resistance the height is related as
.5*m*v^2=m*g*h
or h=.5*v^2/g
in this case
.5*340^2/32

or
1806 ft

Answer 2

A .223 Remington 50-grain A-Max with a muzzle velocity of 3300 feet per second will travel to a height of 7800 feet and will take 17.00 seconds to do so.
