English term or phrase: bullet drop / ballistic drop
Il senso è chiaro

The effect of gravity on a projectile in flight is often referred to as bullet drop. It is important to understand the effect of gravity when zeroing the sighting components of a gun. To plan for bullet drop and compensate properly, one must understand parabolic shaped trajectories.

Qualcuno mi sa dire il termine più diffuso in ambito bellico e militare per questo fenomeno? Per ora ho "discesa balistica", ma da una rapida ricerca parrebbe piusttosto raro.

Grazie!
