It depends on the weight of the projectile and the amount of force applied to it. There are variations in loads and it also depends on whether you fire it from a pistol or a rifle, but expect anywhere from 1200 feet per second to 1600 feet per second roughly. The rest is basically rocket science, but I CAN tell you that it will continue going until it loses enough velocity from friction and gravity until the force of gravity is greater and the projectile is overcome and returns to the ground.
A rough guess would be about half a mile.
Source(s): To be more specific I would have to do calculus and I hate calculus. Also, if it was put on a rocket it would only get to the moon if it was a big enough rocket. If you shot it in space it would go on forever or until it hit something, but you would go backwards forever too. - KarleLv 71 decade ago
doesn't matter.....NEVER fire any fire arm up into the air.........unless u are in the middle of the ocean or desert at least 10 miles away from anyone else.....
there have been cases of bullets traveling over 2 miles and killing ppl....so do NOT experiment with this in any way
** as for figuring it out on paper....would be a lot of variables that would make this extremely hard.....and when u were done would only be an educated guess since ur starting point is an explosion and as such cannot be 100% guaranteed to do exactly as u predict

To the moon if you put it in a rocket
