They're concerned with loss of KE through air friction. So, some slow heavy
leaning is good if you shoot long distances, but not too much, or more drop,
more travel time in which to miss. Think about air friction in the
"fast, small" projectile case.

Air friction can be good when designing stirred air heaters, incubators,
to get back to the bio topic.
