'archer's paradox' where the arror is bent and 'snakes' through the air, from a short high powered impulse in a bad bow design, will have a higher muzzle velocity, but will also slow down much, much faster than a bow with a longer impulse, that transfers more momentum over more time, and allows a smooth flight to the arrow.In any case, your physics isn't quite right. The object will come down at TV or less. In an AK, I can tell you it leaves at a LOT more than that. A high powered rifle will have a muzzle velocity of maybe 2K mph. A bullets TV is probably 300 or so.</blockquote>
