I am probably repeating others here, but these “guns fired in the air are deadly" articles show up now and then and they are all anti-gun BS!
You see as we all (should) have learned in 2nd grade, all things fall at the same speed or less, not faster.
Larger objects fall at the same speed as small objects as long as there is no "sail area" to be affected by the air itself. That's why a man under a parachute falls slowly and one without a parachute falls fast.
If a bullet is fired straight up it comes to a complete stop and then falls to earth BASE FIRST. If however it’s fired at a low angle it can have forward momentum from its initial velocity, but that is not a "falling bullet" in the same way a bullet falls if it’s fired at a 65 degree or steeper angle.
An average bullet weighs less then a 1” hail stone.
I have been through about 10 hail storms in my life with hail of about 1", and 1” hail hurts a bit, but doesn’t even leave a welt for more then about 30 minutes.
Let’s use the brains God gave us and put a stop to this old lie.
