no they can’t.

You need to know the ballistic coefficient of the projectile.

Actually, the cross-section of the projectile will give a pretty good maximum case (most bullets will actually have less air resistance than that due to shape and spin). I'd settle for the maximum air resistance, because I'd still be willing to bet it'd clear a mile-and-a-half...
