Its returns to the ground.
When it reaches the point where gravity is zero (upward force equals downward force), it starts to descend.
If your head is on its way to the ground then it breaks it.
A bullet from Ak47 should weigh about 8grms. This might kill you if it descends from 800metres - 2,600 ft (assuming it was shut straight into the air), it can kill on impact.

Just know that the bullet shot from a gun doesn't go into space. It returns to the ground.

If the gun is pointed upwards
The bullet won't land at that particular spot because winds would have changed its directions but have this in mind a bullet falling directly from the sky is capable of killing a full grown adult...

---My brother anything that goes up will come down if it has not reached a certain level in the atmosphere.
---It won't have any effect on human due to its terminal velocity.

Wow, this is strange, and you must be an Obedient nigga cos na una dey write anything.

That means the bullet is at the equilibrum. Will any object at equilibrium still move haha?
How can a bullet that has a maximum range of 1km reach a level of 0 gravity haha?
I must report you to Asiwaju.

All object have there terminal velocity at which the speed won't increase. You kinda correct here small.

Let me report you to Asiwaju.
People like you will still come out and say Asiwaju is aged grin
