In a normal situation, you're going to be sighting something through some sort of optic or iron sight. In this case, there is a slight up-tilt on the barrel when compared with the sight line which results in a point at which the bullet will rise ABOVE the sight line about 5-10cm and then fall back through the sight line again. On a rifle (mach 1.5-2.0) this drop will start around 300m or so. It really depends upon where the sights are aligned.
