If projectiles are fired horizontally with different velocites how will their horizontal displacments compare?

Acceleration due to gravity is 32 ft / sec^2. EVERY projectile that is thrown, launched, whatever; especially horizontally, follows the path described by half a parabola. As the speed increases, the distance to the sharpening of the curve increases. A faster projectile will go farther before it hits the ground.
