Answer: well

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the bullet fired is a 32-gram .458 Winchester Magnum then it will take from 3.386 seconds to cover 1500 meters at 20∘C to 3.404 seconds to cover 1474.6 meters at 0∘C. You cannot assume there is no air resistance without the result being incorrect by about 500 meters.
