Weight, velocity, and shape of the bullet.
velocity
Factors include the angle at which it is fired, the speed of the projectile, its shape (ballistic coefficient) the air pressure and humidity.
velocity
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 maximum projectile range of a firearm is significantly impacted by the angle of elevation at which the projectile is fired. Typically, an angle of about 30 to 45 degrees optimizes the range due to the balance between vertical and horizontal velocity components. Additionally, factors such as the projectile's muzzle velocity, air resistance, and the weight and shape of the projectile also play crucial roles in determining the overall range.
Altitude has a more significant impact on a firearm's maximum projectile range compared to quarry temperature or general weather conditions. At higher altitudes, the air density is lower, resulting in less drag on the projectile, which can increase its range. While temperature and weather conditions (like wind) can also affect performance, they typically have a lesser and more variable impact than the consistent effect of altitude.

The weight and shape of the bullet, the speed at which the bullet leaves the gun, and the degree of tilt of the barrel above the horizontal.
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.
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.
