[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1086547, member: 18945"] Many studies, including some by the US military have been done on this. Almost every death and injury from "falling bullets" has been caused by those shot at a shallow to moderate angle, where they impacted someone while still mostly in their original trajectory and direction of travel as when they left the muzzle, which is a long mostly straight flight, then transitions to a slight curve downward, still retaining enough velocity to break skin and even a skull. These, can kill. Bullets fired straight up, or even close to it tho, lose their velocity, and then begin their travel back down. The studies show that their velocity when they hit the ground is very low. [/QUOTE]
