Blender does not natively allow setting the initial velocity for rigid body objects. The workaround requires setting keyframes for position and rotation while also toggling the object's control between the animation and physics systems. Projectile handles all of the keyframing and more by giving intuitive controls. The linear and angular velocity can be set in real-world units, and Projectile helpfully draws trajectories directly in the 3D View to show an estimation of the path.
I've enjoyed working on this addon in my spare time. I hope it is fun and useful. If you can, I would appreciate a small donation on Gumroad. If you would rather download for free though, I understand. Enjoy!
