What factor most affects a bullet's path after leaving the barrel?

  1. The weight of the firearm

  2. The color of the firearm

  3. Gravity and wind

  4. The type of game being hunted

The correct answer is: Gravity and wind

The factor that most affects a bullet's path after leaving the barrel is gravity and wind. Gravity has a consistent force that pulls the bullet downwards, causing it to drop over a distance. Understanding how gravity affects bullet trajectory is essential for accurate shooting at different distances. Additionally, wind can push the bullet off course, especially at longer ranges. Hunters need to account for wind direction and strength to make precise shots. The weight of the firearm, the color of the firearm, and the type of game being hunted do not have a direct impact on a bullet's path after leaving the barrel.
