Gunshots in air

It’s funny how many ppl talk about the physics here and don’t actually know the physics. Haha. Muzzle velocity for a bullet: 800-3000 ft/sec Terminal velocity for a bullet: 200-300 ft/sec So when bullets come down, they’re not falling at muzzle velocity, all that energy is exhausted at the peak of the arc. They’re falling at terminal velocity, a substantially slower rate. It’s enough to puncture skin or fracture a skull, and if it hits you at certain spots on the head or neck it can kill you, but it’s no where near the fatality rate as actually getting shot because it’s so much less force. And that’s if it even hits you, since so many shots get absorbed by other structures or land in random places. Certainly reckless behavior, but nowhere near as dangerous as your average redditor thinks it is. If you don’t believe me, ask AI why so many bullets get shot into the air for celebrations but so few ppl die from it.
