If you shoot a gun straight up into the air gravity and air resistance will slow it down until it stops briefly at its peak then it starts descending quickly gaining speed as it accelerates back down the bullet will reach its terminal velocity and depending on the type it
Can be traveling as fast as 200 mph now this is plenty fast enough to cause serious harm or death if it were to hit someone and because this type of celebratory shooting typically happens in groups the probability of a mishap is unfortunately High

How do car peddles work
😮😮😮
You are right but, the falling speed of a bullet depends upon it's mass.
pakistanis punjabis be like asi to hawai firirng shadi ta
english translater we do sky firing at wedding
Physics 😀
Yea im used to people gettin shot every holidays or just fuckin get together or tuesday. Idk man im a puerto rican mixed w german russian serbian etc so im used to bullets.
What if the bullet hit a plane with 500 people on board.
So new years in bad neighborhoods or the south is going to be a darwin award
Blanks were invented for a reason
🗿
200 sad 😢 rew not wsa lore
This is just bs at most the bullet would cause a bruise dont know where he got these numbers from
So this is what happened when I shot that arrow up in the air on my mc survival let’s play
so this is what happened to hamantha
Right, but you act like they are going to shoot it directly above their head🤦🏾♂️
Rifle bullet from a revolver 🤔
This is why blank rounds are used in ceremonies
They shoot blanks
New achievement unlocked – *headshot*💀
That’s why we use blanks
Blanks are used in festivals to just make the sound and not fire a bullet in the air 🤓

Thx for telling me what I already know

In Jordan for shooting ceremonies they use shell bullets so they go slower when they decend. Everyone is also under shelter and the soldiers have proper helmets on
nice now tell us how far it'd travel before comming back down
If you shot it straight up with no outside forces it’d stay upright right?
Yeah unfortunately they don’t make it back down as modern bullets go so high that they burn up on their descent like a meteor does
This video is disinformation. There have been 12 injuries from falling bullets in the past 23 years. There have been 16 recorded in American history. That’s 16 recorded injuries from falling bullets, in 247 years. The risk is most definitely not “high”.
Don’t let blatant propagandists like this lie to you. It is fearmongering.
HOW OLD AM I ?

They do this in groups at weddings in my country 💀
Seriously a "Duh" moment, but some people fail to realize this can happen.
“How’d you die”
“…a bullet”
“You got shot?”
“………….”
where i live its so common for gunshots to be fired on christmas and new years that i can tell them apart, not only those but also every weekend
Seen birdshot shot straight up over a lake, you could see the pellets hit the water
Actually no… it does not work like this… I saw in a different video that the air resistance is so high that the bullet will not accelerate that much
