When I was in grade school, we had a substitute teacher that was hit on the head by a stray bullet on new year's eve. They had to take out a piece of her skull and and put it in upside down. After rehab she could no longer taste or smell. And who knows what else. She sure got lucky. I understand that a bullet out of a gun can cause more damage than a bullet in terminal velocity, but to claim they don't pose danger is not only ignorant, but downright dangerous.

As an Iraqi, this is my biggest fear ever whenever I'm on the streets. Because really Iraqi people shoot real fatal bullets inside crowded areas into the air not just for celebrating a football match win but also for engagements, marriage, having a newborn baby, someone precious passing away, someone recovering from a serious injury or illness, someone's son just got circumcised, and of course when two clans have a conflict for some silly reason and that is the worst-case scenario.

My parents were absolutely anti-gun, but one day my dad came home with an archery set for me and my brother to practice with. This was not some kid's set, but an actual grown-up bow with real, very pointy arrows. So here we are, about two days later, shooting arrows at the target we had nailed to a tree, when one of us had the brilliant idea of shooting the arrows straight up into the sky, just to see how far they would climb. Even more brilliant, however, was the sun that afternoon. The arrow went up and we immediately lost sight of it in the sun's glare. Some seconds later, we heard a distinct THUNK on the ground and looked for the source of the sound. The arrow had landed in a perfectly vertical position, about two inches deep, less than a foot from my brother. We never used the bow again.

Bullets shot from a rifle will spin, but as the video says, if they go straight up, then when they come down they tumble in their fall and slow themselves down. Not so for arrows. The fletching (feathers) on an arrow will make it point downward and also spin so that it doesn't tumble. It will hit the ground with about the same speed as when it left the bow. We also shot arrows into the air a few times but I don't think we lost sight of them. They usually came down at least 20 feet away from us. Fortunately this idea soon got very boring so that we started shooting at actual targets again.

In Germany, you have to obtain a certificate of competence in order to get a firearms license. In the associated course we had learned how dangerous falling projectiles can be. Even those from handguns. A number I made a note of: a 9 mm Parabellum falling vertically can deliver 70 joules of energy at the target. That doesn't sound like much, but it's almost equivalent to the muzzle energy of a 6.35mm Browning caliber cartridge. Lethal.

Several years ago I was the RN in the ER of a small hospital when an older man was brought in from a local golf course with an arm injury. The arm had been bandaged by the EMS so my concern was his overall condition since he was a heart patient. After assuring he was stable I removed the dressing while interviewing him to see how he was injured. I seems he was sitting in an open golf cart and was resting his arm on his leg when he suddenly got a severe pain in his arm just above his wrist. Upon removing the dressing, I discovered a round "hole" in his arm that went completely thru his arm. I recognized it as a bullet wound. Upon further examination he complained of his leg hurting. He had blood on his pants which I thought came from his arm but after removing his pants I discovered another entry wound and a thru and thru leg wound. When examining his pants I found a hole in the top of the leg but not in the bottom. Since the was now stable , I called the golf course and talked to the police who were there and asked if they had looked in the golf cart. They had not so I asked if they would because I believed this man had been shot. They found a bloody 223 cal bullet on the floor of the cart. The bullet came down almost vertically with enough force to go thru his arm, the first layer of his pants, thru his leg but could not go thru the other part of his pants. When he stood up to get out of the cart the bullet fell out of the leg of his pants onto the floor of the cart. If I wasn't there I would have a hard time to believe it but it happened. You can't make this stuff up.

This happened in the town I grew up in back in the 1970's. A guy working on his roof was found dead. They first thought it was cardiac until they did an autopsy and found he had been shot. After figuring out the angles - they determined someone had fired into the air. Long story short detectives found that some people celebrating in a nearby park a couple miles away (4th of july party) had randomly fired a rifle, sometimes in the air - which one of the bullets found its way into the guy working on his roof, killing him. It took several months to crack the case.

The bullet came down, went through a window, hit him in the back of the head and came out through his mouth. In the process it smashed his upper pallet and knocked half his teeth out.

I looked up & could see light coming through a hole in the metal roof made by the bullet. If a falling bullet could pierce a metal roof, shatter a plastic tray & knock the entire tray & its contents of nuts & bolts off of a shelf, then it could seriously hurt or kill you.

Oof, I always assumed the terminal velocity of a falling bullet would be way too low to do more than just hurt a lot as long as the angle was mostly vertical since air resistance would prevent it from going very fast, but I guess I was wrong since 90m/s is still pretty fast. Makes sense that something with the mass of a bullet at that speed could easily punch through the thinner parts of the skull and kill you.

And that cluelessness extends to celebratory gunfire in the subdivisions on every major holiday. They seem completely incapable of envisioning the consequences of their actions.
In 2006 I was at a wedding in Mexico. It's a big thing to celebrate by discharging your gun into the air. Around 6 men were shooting straight up. I was sitting under a huge tarp, the ones uses to cover roofs that leak water. I heard what I believed were rocks falling on the tarp. Curiously I was able to bring down around 8-10 bullets from the tarp. Those rounds were mainly from 9mm, 45, and 38 super. I was surprised when I grew up and saw videos like this explaining that falling bullets are lethal. To this day, I'm shocked that these falling bullets didn't even penetrate a thin tarp. Before people claim that I'm wrong, I know what bullets look like. That day, I first hand witnessed that bullets don't go as fast coming down compared to when they shoot out from the barrel.

It made the news and there was outrage but the habit continues to this day. The Easter of 23' there was someone outside the church I was at firing multiple rounds.

A minor correction: Velocity and speed aren't the same, being vectorial and scalar, respectively. The velocity of the bullet (once no longer under the influence of the propellant) is constantly decreasing, so that after its speed becomes zero its velocity becomes (increasingly) negative (assuming upwards is positive displacement). So 3:22 should be "a velocity that decreases by" or "a speed that increases by".
@Jwellsuhhuh Жыл бұрын
The component of the velocity parallel to the direction of the force of gravity is increasing.

@robertfitzjohn4755 Жыл бұрын
Whilst you're correct if you're sitting a Physics exam, in ordinary speech "velocity" is synonymous with "speed". Similarly, when people talk about feeling 'energetic' or 'full of energy', they don't mean in the strict sense defined by Physics. [The word "velocity" dates to the early 15th Century - long before modern Physics - from Middle French vélocité, from Latin vēlōcitās (swiftness, speed), from vēlōx (swift, speedy, rapid, quick, fast).]

Halloween 2007, in my hometown, a group of teenage boys from out of town came over to randomly harass local trick-or-treaters. They chanced upon a group of high school girls at a park, and one of them fired a gun into the air to frighten them. Unfortunately, a bullet came down and struck one of the girls in the back while she was taking cover behind a tree. When recalling the tragedy years later, the officer at my high school told our class he was one of the first on site but already knew that the girl was not going to make it when he arrived. There's still a memorial to her in the park today. My own sister had just been hanging out at the park an hour earlier that night, and it is also scary to think she could have been a victim.

I'm about halfway through the parking lot, heading to the dumpster, when I hear a metallic clinking sound on the ground directly behind me. I look back and theres a fresh bullet on the ground right behind me. I pick it up and it looks like a .45, still warm. If I would have come out 2 seconds later than I did, I would have got it. I also have a video on my channel of being pinned down behind some bushes while hiking through the desert north of Phoenix as bullets are loudly whizzing right over my head, and landing on the ground around me, as bullets seemed to be coming from everywhere by people who pulled up, hopped out, and just started shooting into my area without seeing me. It would be the second video on my channel where I'm nearly hit by stray bullets in the desert north of Phoenix. The first one I suddenly seemed to be in the middle of a shootout in the middle of nowhere, after not seeing a person for miles. Machine gun fire, shotguns, you name it were going off everywhere around me by what seemed like two groups firing at each other, while completely hidden in the large bushes all around me. I never saw one of them and all the shooting stopped as quickly as it started.

This reminds me of an interesting story. A bit of context. I am a satellite installer. I was on the north side of Tulsa. Which if you don’t know, is the rough side of town. I went up on the roof to work on a satellite dish. And as I climb the ladder to get on the roof on the top of the roof, I find a 9 mm bullet lodged in the shingle of this house. Now there were three layers of shingles on this house. But it did not go through the decking. It was lodged in the first two layers of shingles.

Many years ago I was just getting in my truck to go to lunch. I was in the parking lot of my company which was located about a half mile from a gravel pit where the local Sheriff's had a makeshift shooting range for the deputies. I could hear the shooting but it was a normal thing so I didn't pay any attention to it. Suddenly, I was hit in my upper back, right of my spine and it knocked my into the side of my truck. I looked down and there was a .40 bullet laying on the pavement. I later proved in a court like meeting with the Sheriff and the county attorney that the officers involved were shooting up in the air at an angle of approximately 40 degrees. The bullet matched one of the deputy's weapon. I still have the bullet. The bullet made it through tall pine trees on top of the hill and struck me unimpeded. It was late fall and I was wearing a heavy t-shirt, flannel shirt and a heavy leather flight jacket. I had a bruise that went from the impact point to below my buttocks on the right side. It hurt like hell and I'm pretty sure if it hadn't been for the leather jacket, it would have slightly penetrated my skin. The jacket still has the impression of the bullet over 30 years later.

If you don’t have a weapon or have not been around a gun all your life don’t believe everything someone tells you. Have any of you ever dove or duck hunted? Shot from a shotgun rain down all over. The only way you could be injured is if you were looking up without eye protection. However hand guns and rifle projectiles are different. Angle and velocity play the major factor in severity of injury. Fact. Do you know the range of the weapon. Do you know the weight of the projectile? Most important, do you know who or what is down range? Fact, only an idiot would fire a hand gun or rifle into the air.
@russhamilton38002 жыл бұрын
If the bullet is not on a ballistic arc, the fastest it can go is terminal velocity, which is no faster than if it was dropped from a height. Firearms expert Julian Hatcher studied falling bullets in the 1920s and calculated that . 30 caliber rounds reach terminal velocities of 90 m/s (300 feet per second or 186 miles per hour). A bullet traveling at only 61 m/s (200 feet per second) to 100 m/s (330 feet per second) can penetrate human skin but that's a lot slower than a fired round.

I live in a state with lots of guns (Kentucky). This is a surprisingly common warning to find in stores and hear in gun-savvy groups. When I bought my first AR the clerk even casually mentioned not to fire it into the air. Frankly, I am of the mind we need to teach basic gun safety in schools in areas with as many guns as ours (i.e. 5 rules of firearm safety and related safety habits like this). I even remember after one of the controversial police shootings lately that a news anchor questioned why the officer didnt fire a warning shot into the air (despite the event occuring in a densely populated suburb). My friends and I laughed at the idiotic suggestion, but thinking about it, the thought that seems common sense to us may not be so obvious to those who have seldom been around guns.

The bullet hit him when he was taking a nap on his bed. The bullet came through the roof and into his stomach. Luckily, it didn't hit any vital organ. His house was a one story building with no other building higher than his in the area. So, shooting upward IS dangerous. That's why we are told to point the gun downward. Same thing with bow and arrow.

I’m married to a veterinarian. A father and daughter came in with their cat who was shot by a falling bullet as the cat and daughter were playing in the back yard. They couldn’t afford treatment, so they surrendered the cat to the clinic. The cats front leg had to be amputated, and she now lives a nice life at the clinic where she serves as a blood donor. That little girl could easily have been the victim instead of the kitten she was playing with. And the results could have been fatal. In defense of the clinic, they have multiple cases a week where people decide they can’t pay for their pet’s treatment, so they can’t afford to give services for free.
