How Far Are Bullets & Shells Modeled?

IfI fly out over the sea, pull into a zoom climb, and fire my cannon into the air, how long do those bullets "live" in DCS World?

I can't imagine that, for instance, if I was in a boat at just the right spot, I'd ever see those bullets make a splash.  Same with shells fire at near vertical angle.

I assume after 20,30 seconds those projectiles are unceremoniously removed from the world, but I figured I'd ask.

I don't have any actual use for the information, I'm just curious.

Looks like it's 30s limit - look at the track (Caucasus/F-15C). I started at 7000ft. If I repeat the test at 8000ft - no bullets hit the water.
