They are fired up to 15000 feet at 1500m/s. They fall back at 200m/s and can still be quite deadly, that's why people are killed by stray bullets.

donkilidon:
Every gun has its range "distance covered" by the bullet. Once that distance is met the bullet drops to the ground. Hence the bullet becomes harmless after required speed and distance is met.

ivolt:

Why don't you show us those wounded and killed by bullets? Not another dark video or narration please.

officialfestus:
the bullet go Don cold na

capitalzero:


Bad guy.
Some even turn to birds we see in air

ReluctantAdult:
The bullets fall and that's dangerous. Falling bullets can pierce roofs, wound and kill people. Firing blanks is safer.

PaChukwudi44:
They soldiers shot into the air and all the wounded and dead people jumped up and caught up with the bullets

elantraceey:
I swear all of you defending soldiers shooting at all are very mad!!!

ShoProperties:
We see military personnel everyday shooting bullets in the air in a bid to either scare away civilians or announce their arrival to restore sanity to an already deteriorating event, either way, most people get to wonder where the bullets that are shot straight up into the air goes to and if by any chance they can cause any form of damage or injury.

E be like sey na everybody wan dey mad for this country, no lele nah..

Bullets shot in the air, goes up, hang up in the space, transformed into a star and they start singing "shine bright like a diamond"

SalamRushdie:
Bullets shot into the air can actually Fall with almost the same lethal muzzle velocity depending on the angle of fire and the weather forces at play at the time ..Yes falling bullets can kill .

In physics , it is called Maximum height


When the bullet get to the maximum height , it can no longer go upward again , the velocity , the force pushing it upward has exhausted, and the bullet start coming down with no force to cause any damage , even if it lands on your head ...




But most times, those shooting the gun fail to maintain upward position of the gun, as such , it can still be very harmful , mostly for AK47, or M16, which goes a long distance ....e.g , like the incident at Lekki Toll gate , when u look closely to the soldiers shooting at a point , their guns were no facing upward properly , which was the reason those at the far back end were hit by the bullets while those at the front were picking the pellets of the bullets .... If it was done intentionally , is what I can't tell of, becuase it unprofessional for soldiers to shoot in such way after enough range training exercises...


For police , they are very lazy to maintain vertical gun position while shooting as such , in most condition , stray bullet. Are prone ...e.g , at the campaign ground for Gov Fayemi in 2018. Ekiti State , the police end up shooting a dignity.

You just said nonsense. The person you quoted is right.

being:
The bullets go up and keep travelling till gravity reduces the speed to zero. They fall back at the same speed in the absence of air. But with air resistance which is mostly the case they fall back at a fraction of the initial speed which can still be injurious or even fatal.

I believe that's what happened at the Lekki Toll Gate. Shots were fired in the air and some of the bullets fell on legs, backs, thighs etc.

They lie small small abeg....how can an object falling under the influence of gravity travel for 200m/s
