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

Are you minding those fools?

The only place where real bullets are fired from a Military personnel is during active war with another Military or personal.

Are we saying that Nigerian Soldiers do not have rubber bullets or teargas to disperse large crowds instead of real live bullets

ibuildstuff:

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

You are wrong.

A bullet shot does not travel indefinitely. Air will resist its movement. Gravity wants it to fall down. A bullet shot at 45 degrees will either meet an object or travel at the same 45 degree until the momentum it has drops to that which gravity will start to pull it down. From the moment gravity starts acting the line of travel bend towards the center of the earth. At that moment, the momentum it has cannot penetrate human skin.

Myth busters did an episode on it. Study physics, you will understand.

A bullet shot at 90degrees will be more dangerous. You will never see a trained gun handler shooting vertically in the air. The bullet will stall when it lost all momentum, gravity will return it to earth at a speed higher than a 45degree bullet. It may still not penetrate but will certainly hurt more.

pooozeee:
When a bullet is being fired up in the air, they fall back with very reduced velocity not dangerous enough to kill, they fall on our ceilings or empty space most times, their are rare cases of it falling on our heads or body

So the so-called bullets that were fired up to the sky at Lekki toll gate where was the empty space for it to have landed on

Lagoon0:

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.

Based on my little knowledge about projectile motion, if those soldiers shot at exactly 90 degree, they will be the one to be injured or the closest protesters to them. Meanwhile, it is not only the lesser velocity of the stray bullets that kills, the heat generated on it are very dangerous.

KingAzubuike:

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

Lolsss... You don't want to learn , better go and study ... Do u know the amount of rounds being fired to the air on a daily basis ?, Infact in places like PH and Warri , people would have been dieing on daily basis if what he said is correct ...

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.

This calls for physics.Ist of all i need to know the angle of projection.

Enwhen:



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.

But what could make a stray bullet loose direction against the position of the gun/shooter despite the higher accurate velocity at which it was shot?

Really, with its streamlined Shape and high density?

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.

Do we have a military man to educate us?

Olayetan:
Why are you people arguing this, why do people duck when they throw stone up and its coming back to the ground, they should have waited for it to land on them since it can't hurt anymore...


The bullet went straight in the air with certain speed and force, it will fall at little of that same speed which can pierce human body, but it all depends on the size of the bullet just like you throwing a very big stone up and a small stone up, when both lands on someone, the bigger one will hurt more than the smaller one.

Reason why the soldiers uses 7.62mm NATO bullets, they are bigger and longer than 5.56mm bullets...

I don't know who you are but you head is very correct.

Valid points!

okochaik:
It will go 5 kilometers and land on someone. White people call it stray bullet

What do black people call it?

what goes up must surely come down..

The bullet can even hit hard object and bounce back with more lethal force to kill people.

Nigeria is a country where armed forces are trained to shoot citizens. Why? To protect and lengthen the roguish political structure and parasitic unitary government system created by northern soldiers to give maximum political and economic advantages to the northern region.

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

Wonderful...

Ase sile ni abowaba. Enikeni toba su si ona, aba esinsin ni abo re. This is for those supporting evil committed against humanity. When they killed and pack and you all are now asking for evidence. This type of thing will happen to all supporters of evil

DaFuhrer:


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

In a plane crash, falling planes can approach speeds that cause them break apart in midair, just due to gravity, in 2013 a man who jumped from the edge of space broke the sound barrier while falling under just gravity, so yes, at a high altitude, an object may even approach a terminal velocity higher than that.

SenecaTheYonger:


Does it achieve terminal velocity on its way down?

yeah, can be up to 200m/s

ikorodureporta:

stray bullets are fired at no particular targets. That doesn't mean the gun was pointed vertically upward.. A bullet fired vertically upwards would go as far as it can, & d pellets would drop like snow, without any fatal force

dude, people have died from falling bullets before, browse it.

remsonik:
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

Lmao

saajus:
They are captured when they were shooting into the air but they later fired straight to people. If they only shot into the air, nobody will die but falling bullet from AK (150miles/hr) can still cause some injuries but won't penetrate.

If you shot into the air, it will come down after reaching its maximum velocity. It's the same if you shoot straight, the bullet will get tired along the way if it doesn't hit any physical body. AK47 that our Police use can travel 800meters. But, it's maximum effective range is 400meters. After 400meters, the effect will be dropping.

Once you are hearing gunshots, if not crowded go straight down, find cover and start crawling. If it is crowded like the Tues Lekki event and to avoid a stampede, keep finding the nearest space that will allow you to crawl and find a cover asap. Once you are in a safe area, remove all your cloth and check your body or ask someone nearby to check for you. Some people are hit and won't know instantly.

Soldiers always say “You never hear the one that hits you”. The bullet is faster than the speed of sound. So, people are getting hit before they hear it. Once you hear gunshot sound just once, japa.

Falling bullets can pierce into the body.

Faithful007:

It cannot cause any harm or damage at all... Infact those that stays within the Lekki Toll gate , will see most of the bullets and pallets on their roofs or floor ...it cannot even penetrate the roof on its fall. The fall of the bullet is under gravity ... But the shot of the bullet is under motion ...you can't compare motion to gravity for a penetrating objects.

GeneralPula:


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

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

did I say it will return to initial velocity? I said that it's terminal velocity while returning to ground still has good chances of causing serious damage.

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.

So even if it's fall on someone during this period.. it won't harm the person right ??

either you don't know what gravity really means or you're mistaking a bullet for a leaf, gravity can cause object to move at deadly speeds once they are falling from a great height and have little drag and high density.

They go to heaven. Hopefully them never kill God and the angels, the way this world be.

please tell them this truth

ivolt:

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

. That's why animals you ass-wipe in utter shamelessness turned off the lights so that you can commit murder under the cover of darkness and come out to call it dark video. Shameless children of Lucifer.

Beautyaddy:

Bullets fired in the air didn't kill anyone, those that died were shot at plain and simple. Do not be deceived by the video!

it looses potency after attaining maximum height
