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. 66 Likes 13 Shares

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. 161 Likes 9 Shares |

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. 481 Likes 35 Shares |

ShoProperties:The bullets fall and that's dangerous. Falling bullets can pierce roofs, wound and kill people. Firing blanks is safer. 122 Likes 7 Shares |

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 . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFP3npxlJVk 155 Likes 10 Shares |

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. 127 Likes 11 Shares |

They go up in the air and keep searching for Buhari, but they don't find him they find his clone.Once he's found, he will be hit by the bullet. So they fall at a very low velocity to the ground 133 Likes 5 Shares |

ShoProperties: 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. 284 Likes 21 Shares |

They go down. And can still be very fatal but not as fatal as shot directly. 19 Likes 2 Shares |

donkilidon:After watching this video I remember projectile in physics. That instance is only possible when you shoot at 90° upward not in a projectile manner Modified: and how sure are we that the soldiers were even 45° acurate which is still dangerous. For soldier not to shoot at 90° to scare people might even drop the gun down to as low as 29° who knows  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFP3npxlJVk 7 Likes 2 Shares |

The saying "What goes up must come down" is an appropriate starting point. If you fire a gun into the air, the bullet will travel up to a mile high (depending on the angle of the shot and the power of the gun). Once it reaches its apogee, the bullet will fall. Air resistance limits its speed, but bullets are designed to be fairly aerodynamic , so the speed is still quite lethal if the bullet happens to hit someone. 2 Likes |

It will go 5 kilometers and land on someone. White people call it stray bullet 6 Likes |

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. 46 Likes 5 Shares |

Enwhen:You're very right the position of the soldiers were not 90° the shot at angle and the movement of the bullet was a projectile motion. 33 Likes 2 Shares

Faithful007: You r wrong ... Stray bullet is because they fail to maintain vertical position of the gun while shooting mostly for AK47... If properly shot at a vertical position , once the bullets gets to its maximum height , it loses all it force , and falls down lightly with no direction of either sides of the bullet ends, which when compared to the upward movement where it move with the side of the penetrating face of the bullet. 32 Likes 3 Shares |
