elantraceey: 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 |

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 |

ibuildstuff: 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. 1 Like |

pooozeee: 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: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: 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 ... |

Re: Where Do Bullets Go When Fired Straight Into The Air? by Ademoore07(m): 9:14pm On Oct 23, 2020 |
Enwhen: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? |

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. |

DaFuhrer: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. |

Re: Where Do Bullets Go When Fired Straight Into The Air? by Enwhen(m): 9:23pm On Oct 23, 2020 |
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. |
Re: Where Do Bullets Go When Fired Straight Into The Air? by Faithful007: 9:24pm On Oct 23, 2020 |
GeneralPula: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. |
Re: Where Do Bullets Go When Fired Straight Into The Air? by MyVILLAGEpeople(m): 9:24pm On Oct 23, 2020 |
donkilidon: So even if it's fall on someone during this period.. it won't harm the person right ?? |
Re: Where Do Bullets Go When Fired Straight Into The Air? by Faithful007: 9:28pm On Oct 23, 2020 |
Enwhen: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. |
