Assuming the bullet is traveling on a purely ballistic trajectory, no weird aerodynamics, calculator is saying it will have a vertical delta V of -235 m/s at 24 seconds. So more like -700 ft/s. But friction is real so I don’t know the real number.

I’m quite surprised they didn’t have the barrel pointed higher. Was the shooter on a plateau?
