G-MAN Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 This is a sad news article. Anyone who took basic physics knows that a bullet fired up in the air is going to come down somewhere at nearly the same speed it left the gun barrel. In this case, it came down in the front yard of a boy who was watching the fireworks and struck him in the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjxlr8 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 The speed at which the bullets falls to Earth is much less than the speed at which it is fired out of the barrel. The terminal velocity would be less than 100m/s (328 ft/s). Still dangerous, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Dangerous and NUTS. Wow. If you want to fire a gun just to make noise, just do in soft earth......not saying that's 100% safe, just better than in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
