As it travels further, the force of gravity becomes larger hence the decrease in velocity. A ridiculous and wrong explanation. "the force of gravity becomes greater"

Well, while not a significant factor on the path of the bullet in these cases, as the bullet drops and gets closer to the earth, the force of gravity does increase.

The air pressure against the bullet nose slows it down. Gravity pulls it down
In a perfect planet smooth no hills if you drop a bullet the exact same time you fire a bullet perpendicular to the force of gravity they will both hit the ground at the same time.

close, but no points for that answer, eh? Force of gravity X time of travel yields distance of drop.
Gotta read about how the FORCE of gravity becomes larger, because physics. ;-)
