Soldier & Proton

So, Proton, ever wondered how the fine details of air pressure and humidity can give or take a couple of centimeters on a long-range hit? Let’s break down the physics and see if we can turn that theory into a play‑by‑play win.

Sure thing, let’s keep it tight. Air pressure and humidity change the density of the air. Higher density means the bullet faces more drag, so it slows down more and falls a bit sooner. Roughly, a 1% increase in air density can drop the range by about 1–2 %. Humidity adds moisture to the air, which makes it slightly lighter, so a high‑humidity day can give you a small lift—maybe a centimeter or two on a long shot. The trick is to use the standard drag coefficient for the bullet and plug in the local air density: ρ = P/(R T) – that’s how you turn those numbers into a precise range correction.

Got it, Proton. That formula’s solid, but on the field we just use a ballistic calculator or the tables we drilled into last season. Don’t overthink it—focus on your aim and let the data do the math.
