really depends on your settings in script, you can play around with velocity, gravity, lifetime, etc. in your weaponXY.cs file, default values are e.g.
muzzleVelocity      = 100;
   velInheritFactor    = 1;

   armingDelay         = 0;
   lifetime            = 2000;
   fadeDelay           = 1500;
   bounceElasticity    = 0;
   bounceFriction      = 0;
   isBallistic         = true;
   gravityMod = 0.10;
Never played with it yet, though...

In fact it lives the lifetime period. So in the example above, the projectile will be in game for 2 seconds (If it doesn't hit anything)

it can live for that time but if you can't see it- like a random shot up, don't make it too high.
