"bullet will tend to remain stabilized and come down nose first with not only terminal velocity but also the remainder of the horizontal component of it's velocity left after drag. The resulting velocity is the vector sum of the terminal velocity plus the remaining horizontal velocity after drag loss. Definitely lethal potential."

This is whats called a ballistic trajectory. And yes they are very dangerous, everyone should be aware of this fact.
