How to Calculate Bullet Trajectory and Distance in Game Development?

[TheDominis]

I'm not sure if this is the correct area to post, but I figure if I'm wrong it'll be moved or something.

I'm working on a game and I need some help with calculating bullet trajectory. I need a formula for where the bullet will be at a certain time based off of the angle it is shot from, power, and anything else I might need. Also I need a formula for calculating the distance the bullet will travel. Any help would be much appreciated.

Have a quick google for some of the basic laws of motion. You'll easily find some very common relationships for distance and time in terms of speed, acceleration and gravity.
