What angle for firing projectiles gives the longest range?

In: Uncategorized [Edit categories]

Answer:

It depends on the weapon. A rifle will have a very low angle--maybe ten degrees. A mortar needs a very high angle to give a good range. And a howitzer needs about a 45 degree angle to give long range.
