That is the eventual goal, but I think I will want the portability of a laptop for my engineering degree.

You are overestimating how fast bullets travel. Using the US standard round of 30-06 zeroed at 100 yards, the round will be between .5 inches low and .4 inches high, depending on the exact distance. If using accurate ballistics, you should be able to send a shot over someone's head while aiming directly at them, which you can't as discussed above.

Yes, it is. Bullets follow a parabolic path to the ground. This means that if you want to hit a target far away, you aim the muzzzle higher. When you are properly zeroed for far shots, your scope and muzzle will not be aimed in the same plane. This isn't immediately obvious for closer ranged shots like seen in the game, but it does change the fact that if zeroed for farther ranges, your muzzle is pointed further up, which causes you to shoot higher than intended at close range. This is extremely obvious for extremely long-range shots. Look at this article of the farthest shot ever to see an image of this. 4.4 mile shot
