F=MA is the general equation, but you have to factor in the force of gravity if you are not playing chess in outerspace. The bullet obeys it in any case, but a serious reply, considering the gravity of the the consequences, will have to wait until I have completed a few calculations.

I agree.  The bullet obeys.  How does this relate to chess?

Surely the kinetic energy formula is more relevant to a bullet. KE=1/2MVsquared plus the rotational

energy due to barrel rifling.
