GeneralPula:


Lies.. Air will prevent the bullet from returning to its initial velocity.

Go & watch shooter if you wanna learn about Guns/bullet..

DaFuhrer:


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

ivolt:

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

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.

That very true. U can Google it.

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.

Pecuman:


Bullets kill by their force and speed not their heat

Naijabad:
They defy the law of gravity and hang in the air.

baby124:
When you go and do a wicked prank. You don’t know who among you has evil intentions. Many followed others in the past to bully people and someone ended up dead. All of them are in prison now. Explain why the lights were turned off if they only wanted to shoot in the air.

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

KillSars:
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"

GeneralPula:


Google will never tell you a bullet is harmless irrespective of the circumstance..

The probability of a bullet returning to it’s same spot after getting fired is 1 out of 100..

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.

adanny01:


They move in a projectile profile untill.they lose momentum and gravity takes over. They drop like the way you throw a stone in the air.

It could cause pain but not enough to kill.

What kills is the momentum the bullet has. Its like a lion with no teeth or claws.

secondly they off the light, how do u expect to get a clear video in such situations when everywhere was dark. U should be reasonable.

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.

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 .

eagleonearth:
is it rubber bullets that are shot at military parades?

ibuildstuff:

U are very wrong, they still have enough momentum to kill, especially AK-47 and other military grade weapons.

lastchild:
many years ago, I visited my martanal home, while sitting outside, a small round iron fell on my head, I was wondering the children that threw it

my uncle told me it's the pump action gun they were shooting in a burial ceremony, I listened and heard them shooting

guns shot in the sky, goes up and come down but very calm and unharmful
