Factors include the angle at which it is fired, the speed of the projectile, its shape (ballistic coefficient) the air pressure and humidity.
Weight, velocity, and shape of the bullet.
The maximum projectile range of firearms is significantly impacted by the angle of elevation at which the projectile is fired. Typically, an angle of around 30 to 45 degrees yields the greatest distance due to optimal balance between vertical and horizontal velocity components. Additionally, factors such as the projectile's initial velocity, air resistance, and environmental conditions like wind and altitude also play crucial roles in determining the effective range.

The range of projectile is maximum when the angle of projection is 45 Degrees.
A firearm's maximum projectile range refers to the farthest distance a projectile can travel when fired at an optimal angle, typically around 30 to 45 degrees. This range depends on several factors including the projectile's velocity, mass, and the effects of gravity and air resistance. Additionally, environmental conditions, such as altitude and wind, can significantly influence the actual distance traveled. It's important to note that the maximum range does not equate to effective range, which is the distance at which a firearm can accurately hit a target.
The half maximum range of a projectile is launched at an angle of 15 degree
Ignoring the effects of wind and air-resistance in general, maximum projectile range results when the projectile is launched/fired in a direction 45 degrees above the horizontal.
Are you asking about the maximum effective range or the maximum range that a 22 short projectile can travel?
The maximum range of a projectile is the distance it travels horizontally before hitting the ground. It is influenced by factors such as initial velocity, launch angle, and air resistance. In a vacuum, the maximum range is achieved at a launch angle of 45 degrees.
The initial velocity of the projectile is the only factor that affects its range. Increasing the initial velocity will result in a longer range, while decreasing it will result in a shorter range.
