is the plane moving?

It would hit the ground first if you fired it straight up.

Wouldn't matter. All the vertical variables are constant between the two scenarios.

Woot, 3000th post.

Doesn't matter as long as you're laying down below the gun

I like the camel toe thread better

 

[ballmode]

probably whatever had better aerodynamics

Ignoring wind resistance and assuming that they're both fired from the same point. EDIT: how about taking into account wind resistance?

What if they were both fired parallel to the ground?

Both planes are under equal throttle at the point of firing, and have been for an equal amount of time.

They'd hit the ground at exactly the same time.

As long as the planes are at the same height then it won't matter what you change since nothing will affect the bullets if they're traveling perp. to the ground since that is horizontal and everything you've listed is vertical.

A bullet fired perpendicular to the ground from a plane on a moving conveyor belt will not hit the ground. it will hit the conveyer belt.

To the top!
