Default RE: shooting issues

I don't think hot air will make the bullet rise. But it can cause mirage, so the targets will appear to move around as you are aiming at them. Hot air is thinner than cold air, so your ballistic coefficient may increase due to hotter air. This would make the bullet retain velocity better, but the effect would be miniscule.
