The first factors are: Speed, weight, and shape of the projectile. Speed will be determined by the powder charge used to drive the bullet, and the length of the barrel.
Elevation angle (the angle at which the barrel points upward) will then increase or decrease the range based on the first three factors. For most firearms the optimal elevation angle is between 30 and 40 degrees for maximum range.
Other lesser factors include the weather (wind, humidity, temperature) and altitude. Even the Coriolis Effect can play a small factor.

Which factor has a significant impact on a firearm's maximum projectile range?
velocity
What factors have a significant impact on a firearms maximum projectile range?
Speed, weight, and shape of the projectile- along with the angle at which the barrel is raised above the horizonatal.
Are firearms provided when you go to a shooting range in Pennsylvania?
Most ranges do not provide firearms. There are some that RENT firearms for use on that range.
What is a factor on a firearms maximum projectile range?
Factors include the angle at which it is fired, the speed of the projectile, its shape (ballistic coefficient) the air pressure and humidity.
What does a firearms rangemaster do?
Ensure safe operation of the range.
Why was the arquebus important?
The arquebus was important because it was one of the earliest firearms, revolutionizing warfare by providing an effective ranged weapon. It played a significant role in transitioning from traditional hand-held weapons to gunpowder-based firearms. The arquebus improved military tactics by increasing firepower and range on the battlefield.
Why is it important for a hunter to know a firearms range?
Determines the use of the firearm.
What is impact factor of a scientific journal?
Impact factor indicates the number of times the articles in a journal are cited in other studies during a particular period. For example, an impact factor of 3 indicates that each article in the journal was cited 3 times on average during the specified period. It is assumed that an article that is cited many times presents novel, interesting, or important research. There are various formulas for calculating impact factors. We generally follow the ones published in Journal Citation Reports (JCR) by Thomson Reuters. Most journals have a JCR impact factor in the range 1-4. Brand new journals tend to have low impact factors.
What is the range of tolerance for an abiotic factor?
The range of a biotic factor depends on the specific organism. That said, every population thrives on an optimal range and beyond the range you will find less organisms.
Why was the rifle innovative?
The rifle greatly increased the usable range of a firearm over that of the smoothbore musket. This made changes in both the military use of firearms, and in the use of firearms for hunting. Where a smoothbore musket has an accurate range of about 50 yards, the rifle, in the hands of an experienced marksman, had a usable range of about 400 yards.
