If you were standing on a hill, with the wind to your back, and you fired a .45 ACP into the air at a 45 degree angle, with respect to the ground below, the projectile could easily travel a mile or more. This would NOT be very accurate, nor would the projectile be very powerful at the end of its trajectory.

Does the angle of a catapult affect the distance of a ball?
Hello: * Yes, the angle of a catapult does affect the distance. And this applies to both changing the angle of the catapult and changing the angle of the terrain under the catapult. If you shoot the catapult at say 45 degrees, you have very good distance. If you shoot it at 30 degrees, while it may be further, it would be lower to the ground and perhaps not travel as far hitting trees and running into wind-shear. If you shoot at say 80 degrees, while the lob goes high up in the air, it won't travel very far. So your best bet, for maximum distance, is to take your catapult to the highest possible altitude, aim for 45 degrees, taking into account the wind direction and speed, and lob away. Don't hit anyone. :) Answer Actually, the maximum distance that can be achieved from a catapult is at an angle of 45 degrees. Every degree increase from 0 up to 45 approaches the maximum distance that something can be thrown. Every degree from 45 to 90 decreases the distance.
How many feet per second can the average gun shoot?
The speed at which a gun can shoot a bullet can vary greatly depending on the type of firearm and ammunition being used. On average, handgun bullets can travel at speeds between 700 to 1,200 feet per second, while rifle bullets can travel much faster, reaching speeds of 2,000 to 3,000 feet per second.
How fast does a 45acp round travel?

Can you shoot a 45 auto round through a 45 gun?
You can fire a .45 ACP cartridge through a .45 ACP pistol - and only a .45 ACP pistol. The various .45 cartridges (.45 ACP, .45 Long Colt, .45 GAP, etc.) are not interchangeable with each other.
Can you shoot 45 auto and 45 ACP?

Can you use colt 45 and colt 45 long in the same pistol?
Actually, the cartridges are .45 ACP (automatic Colt Pistol) and .45 Colt (the cowboy era revolver cartridge. There is not really a Colt 45 Long. Can a revolver shoot both? Some can- they are chambered for the Colt .45 -but to shoot .45 ACP they need a "half moon clip"- a strip of metal that holds 3 of the shorter .45 ACP cartridges. 2 of those fill a 6 shot revolver. The PISTOL (not revolver) that shoots the .45 ACP cannot shoot the .45 Colt- no groove for the extractor to pull a fired cartridge out of the chamber, and it is too long.
Can you shoot 45 acp ammo in a Glock 37?
Nope. Matter of fact, you can't even load it. The .45 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP) cartridge is longer than the .45 Glock Automatic Pistol cartridge (GAP). And the model 37 IS in .45 GAP. Both rounds headspace off the case MOUTH- the .45 ACP is too long for the slide to go into battery (close the action). And, with the exception of some revolvers, you cannot shoot .45 GAP in an .45 ACP firearm.
Is 45 ACP strong caliber?
As far as self defense handguns go, the .45 ACP is an extremely powerful and effective caliber, with a proven military track-record.
Why is a 45 gap comparable to a 45 acp and a 380 acp is not comparable to a 9mm?
The 45 GAP operates at slightly higher pressure than standard (non +p) 45 ACP ammunition and by this means is able to generate similar velocity and energy to the 45 ACP cartridge. The 380 Auto cartridge is not only smaller than 9mm Luger, it is also far lower pressure. The 380 Auto delivers far less velocity and energy and cannot handle as much bullet mass as the 9mm.
Can you shoot 45 colt or does it have to be long colt in your Taurus judge?

Can you shoot 45 plus P ammo in a Taurus PT 1911?
Unless your owner's manual for the PT1911 states that the barrel is rated for .45 ACP +P ammunition, I would not risk damaging my pistol, or myself trying to shoot this powerful load. Regular .45 ACP ammo is more than sufficient for most circumstances.
What does ACP mean in 45 acp?
