How Dangerous Is A Bullet Shot In The Air? DEBUNKED 

Do Cars Really Explode Like The Movies? DEBUNKED ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1iEBC-I0vbs.htmlsi=eRxIIYfVZ0CgQuXP

As a helicopter guy we fly over crazy parts of town quite often and I have come to accept that people are stupid and there’s nothing you can do about it.

This happened to my sister around 5 years ago. She was casually sitting in backyard when a bullet hit her in the foot. She didn't have any idea what happened but she came inside screaming she had been shot in the foot. Thankfully, it didn't fracture any bone in her foot and she recovered completely within 3 weeks. She never had a problem due to this incident afterwards, but this news had spread like crazy in our family.

As a retired roofer, I have seen the damage a falling Bullet can do. A bullet can go through shingles, and through the decking, and lodge into the rafter. Here in New Mexico, I stay indoors on New Years eve.

I caught a falling bullet in my shoulder when I was 11. It was New Year's Eve and just turned midnight. I was at a park sitting on my mother's lap. It went all the way through and came out my armpit. So this was never in question for me. Thanks for making this video and bringing attention to the problem. I hope people realize this is not the proper way to celebrate.

As an Iraqi, this is my biggest fear ever whenever I'm on the streets. Because really Iraqi people shoot real fatal bullets inside crowded areas into the air not just for celebrating a football match win but also for engagements, marriage, having a newborn baby, someone precious passing away, someone recovering from a serious injury or illness, someone's son just got circumcised, and of course when two clans have a conflict for some silly reason and that is the worst-case scenario.

Turns out my fears were not unfounded about falling bullets. Thanks for confirming them Stu

This is a common practice in my area. The local government tells people not to do it, but people do it anyway, because they’re… people. I’ve explained why it’s dangerous to a few neighbors, but I’ve learned that individuals prone to firing up into the air find it hard to understand the physics involved. I will refer them to this video in the future. I’m not getting my hopes up.

About 50 years ago, my father's business developed a leaky roof. When he climbed to find the problem, he discovered a spent bullet had created a hole in the roof. He removed the bullet and patched the hole, and all was fine and dry again. I've always remembered that story, though. Yeah, those falling bullets are dangerous indeed!

Put it simply: Do you know where your bullets will hit? Anything other than a "yes" means it's incredibly dangerous, case closed.

This is a common occurrence in our country every new year’s eve and sadly with some fatalities. I don’t understand how some people can indiscriminately discharge their firearms like that thinking it will magically disappear in the air.

In Germany, you have to obtain a certificate of competence in order to get a firearms license. In the associated course we had learned how dangerous falling projectiles can be. Even those from handguns. A number I made a note of: a 9 mm Parabellum falling vertically can deliver 70 joules of energy at the target. That doesn't sound like much, but it's almost equivalent to the muzzle energy of a 6.35mm Browning caliber cartridge. Lethal.

I have always wondered about how many WWII civilians were hurt or killed by bullets expended during dogfights.

Happened to a friend of mine when he was young living in the Philippines. He was looking up for whatever reason when a bullet struck him in the forehead, thankfully for him it didn't do much more then give him a slight imprint scar.

I’ve always assumed that falling bullets were dangerous, but it is nice to see evidence.

My parents were absolutely anti-gun, but one day my dad came home with an archery set for me and my brother to practice with. This was not some kid's set, but an actual grown-up bow with real, very pointy arrows. So here we are, about two days later, shooting arrows at the target we had nailed to a tree, when one of us had the brilliant idea of shooting the arrows straight up into the sky, just to see how far they would climb. Even more brilliant, however, was the sun that afternoon. The arrow went up and we immediately lost sight of it in the sun's glare. Some seconds later, we heard a distinct THUNK on the ground and looked for the source of the sound. The arrow had landed in a perfectly vertical position, about two inches deep, less than a foot from my brother. We never used the bow again.

I've been worried about falling bullets all my life, and everyone else always shrugged it off as harmless. Thank you, I feel less stupid now!

As a 8 year old child I was worried about the bullets shot in the air during running competitions. Only a couple years after did I realize those were blank shots, but anyway it's embarassing that an 8 year old me was more worried about celebratory gunfire than most countries in the world are nowadays.

This actually happened a few years ago in an L.A area middle school. Students were on recess break and were making lines to buy snacks. All of a sudden out of nowhere, and without any gun shot sound, a 12 year old boy yelled and immediately fell to the floor. He had been struck in the upper shoulder/ neck area by a falling 9 mm bullet. He survived, but he was in critical condition for a while.

As a Greek I always knew falling bullets can be lethal; it is customary in some regions here to shoot guns in the air mostly at weddings but also other joyous events & there have been numerous fatalities… Just 3 months ago a 25 year old died not by the bullet he shot in the air but the high voltage cable he cut with it. But anyways such fatalities are common occurrence here (especially in Crete) & I’m surprised not one incident was reported in the video.

I loved the comedic dialog, and (as you have pointed out ) gravity is consistent over time... Thanks so much!

This happened in the town I grew up in back in the 1970's. A guy working on his roof was found dead. They first thought it was cardiac until they did an autopsy and found he had been shot. After figuring out the angles - they determined someone had fired into the air. Long story short detectives found that some people celebrating in a nearby park a couple miles away (4th of july party) had randomly fired a rifle, sometimes in the air - which one of the bullets found its way into the guy working on his roof, killing him. It took several months to crack the case.

After a serious accident in the 90's I spent a few weeks in a hospital and shared a room with a Swiss Red Cross worker who had been shot in Afghanistan while working in an office. It turned out he was hit by a stray bullet from two brothers who had a falling out, and decided to have a shootout over a mile away. The bullet came down, went through a window, hit him in the back of the head and came out through his mouth. In the process it smashed his upper pallet and knocked half his teeth out. He was on his way to a full recovery when I got discharged.

I have wondered about this for years. Thanks for clarifying the issue. Great video.

Thanks for this informative video. I need to send it to some of my neighbors that think it's OK to shoot branches out of trees. I've always been told (but always questioned) that the velocity of the falling bullet would reach the muzzle velocity upon impact. I always felt that there must be a terminal velocity for falling bullets that was much less than the muzzle velocity. Thanks for clarifying this!

I had this debate with a co-worker once and it just astonished me how this person, who did have some background in physics, could not see how dangerous this was. "It's just falling from sky" he said. He couldn't grasp the energy equation minus friction meant a still very dangerous projectile. I mean, in warfare, archers would shoot arrows up at a more or less 45 degree angle. Did not the enemy fear such projectiles?

I've always thought celebratory gunfire was one of the stupidest looking things ever. Glad to see its as deadly as I assumed.

In 2020 I was working on July 4th in Stockton CA, the next day while working on a ladder i noticed that a bullet had gone through my van roof and became stuck in the head linner. the bullet is still there and makes for an interesting conversation piece.

I was an architect on a new urban high school campus in California. Nice facilities, community pride, all the modern bells & whistles, including solar panels on the roof. Even before the ribbon cutting, there were already several bullet holes in the rooftop panels. The bullets got thru the tempered glazing, and were embedded in the aluminum body of the panels. I don't know what caliber, but if it doesn't kill you outright, it's sure going to leave a mark...

I once found an intact bullet on the roof of a parking garage, always wondered how it got up there. It had rifled grooves on the sides, and had clearly been fired, but evidently hit nothing.

"they will have flying cars in 2020s" the people: **still discovering gravity**

There are stories from pilots in WW I that saw some weird dark objects standing seeming still in the air. The presumption is that these were artillery shells fired at a high angle, that were caught(=seen) at their zenith, where the vertical speed was zero before it started to fall back down again.

A few years back, our home received a few falling bullet strikes. A home about 1 1/4 miles away (In visual distance, but diagonal to the roads) was celebrating new years or July 4th. We could hear them not just shooting, but doing rapid fire. We were out of the front patio, but when we something hit the patio roof, we came inside. We were "gifted" during the night, with cracked windshields on 2 vehicles. Many of us in the neighborhood called the cops... but they couldn't be bothered to show up.

This is one of those things I've always wondered, but didn't necessarily need to know. Great vid! 😊 *Thanks so much for the likes!!!* ❤️❤️🥰

When I was in younger, a young lady I was dating was struck in the head by a falling bullet. It was on New Years Eve and she was in a group of people...nobody in the group heard a shot from nearby and it was determined that the impact was from directly above and not from ground level. This was a devistating Injury and although she survived she had to have more than one brain surgery and was never the same.

Oof, I always assumed the terminal velocity of a falling bullet would be way too low to do more than just hurt a lot as long as the angle was mostly vertical since air resistance would prevent it from going very fast, but I guess I was wrong since 90m/s is still pretty fast. Makes sense that something with the mass of a bullet at that speed could easily punch through the thinner parts of the skull and kill you.

I was taught this at a very early age and have always wondered about this so thanks for the info. When I was a youngster back in the late 60's my dad was on the sheriff reserve or posse as it was called then and was issued a service revovler (38 special) and would shoot it in our back yard on the 4th of July and new years eve. He always told me to never shoot a gun up in the air because, you know, gravity, so he would would shoot it into the ground. Anyway, nice explainer video and thanks again.

Who would have thought that bits of metal designed to kill, falling at high speeds could be dangerous, this is shocking 😳

As a former roofer of 21 years, in Chicago, i have a collection of bullets that i have pulled from roofs. Some of them went THROUGH the plywood.

My grandfather was at a party in the 50s and someone died on the spot from a bullet falling into his head. Someone had shot a pistol into the air a few blocks away.

As I understand it if you fire a gun into the air and that round kills somebody , it is not an unfortunate accident. IT IS MURDER.

I have never understood the urge to fire a gun into the air. Starting with my first hunter safety course, I was always taught that I was responsible for every round that leaves my firearm.

I owned a machine shop in Houston, Tx. One morning, I opened my shop to find a bunch of assorted nuts & bolts scattered on the concrete floor. My 1st thought was a "small animal" knocked the plastic tray off of the shelf. I picked up the tray & found that it was broken. As I picked up the nuts & bolts, I found a "slug". I looked up & could see light coming through a hole in the metal roof made by the bullet. If a falling bullet could pierce a metal roof, shatter a plastic tray & knock the entire tray & its contents of nuts & bolts off of a shelf, then it could seriously hurt or kill you.

A little girl died in Virginia at a place called Sunday Park during a 4th of July celebration. A bullet fell from the sky and strucker in the head. I have also personally witnessed a rifle bullet come down from the sky in Hawaii and go through the metal roof of my landlords office, landing in his chair. The round was going much slower, but it was till enough to kill anyone unlucky enough to be in its path

I worked in Roofing business for 15 years and I pulled alot of bullets from the roofs tracing leaks. What goes up must come down ... anywhere.

As an aircraft mechanic, I've dug several rounds where they penetrating the wings of parked aircraft. Also, we've had several roof leaks from falling bullets. Atlanta, you know!

My daughter's roof had two bullet holes in it when it was inspected. Another time I talked to a man who was buying ammo to shoot on New Years. I advised him to shoot into the ground or into a tree. He was surprised and alarmed when I told him about falling bullets. Someone else told me they new of someone who had been killed by a,falling bullet.

Yes indeed. We had an incident on new years eve in New Orleans where a tourist walking along the riverfront suddenly collapsed and died. It was determined that she was struck by a bullet fired into the air from across the river. I stay inside now on Dec. 31st!

Here in Greece celebratory gunfire was considered socially acceptable until a few years ago (continues to be in a lot of places). There have been deaths as you can imagine. I remember one being in a village near my city a few years ago when a small girl sitting in her yard was killed by a falling bullet fired some blocks away. It made the news and there was outrage but the habit continues to this day. The Easter of 23' there was someone outside the church I was at firing multiple rounds.

Here in the Philippines during New Year celebrations, in the 80's to early 2000, there were several emergencies regarding people hit in the head with bullets and bullets found inside homes were a hole can be seen on the ceiling. Due to this the government became very strict in prohibiting firing guns during New Year. Even now, there are still some rare cases but no longer as many as before. Even the police during New Year, the nozzles of their guns has marked sealed taped on it to make sure none of them would use their guns on that day except on special emergency reasons.

I am from Germany and for me the idea of randomly shooting in the air sounds absolutely enormously rediculous

My Grandfather was hit by a stray bullet 90 years ago in Copan Oklahoma. He was standing behind their screen door in the kitchen looking at the garden. It loged next to his heart. Back then, they would not do such a operation and it remained there the rest of his life.

I always though “Oh, if they shoot it in the air, it’ll lose all velocity upwards, and when it falls down it won’t be that bad.”

Well, considering my truck had 2 bullet holes in the roof, the morning of New Years Day and the over hang over the side entrance to my house has a bullet hole, I would say the threat of falling bullets from firing in the air is very real.

My father once told me a story from his days in the army: During a combat drill one soldier tripped and shot one bullet into the air at a rather flat trajectory. Later that day news came in that several villages away from the training ground a senior got hit by that very bullet while gardening in his yard - in his butt. Probably the luckiest unlucky guy I've ever heard of.

Learn to Fly taught me all i needed to know about this subject.

Thank you for this very educational video, that highlights the reason why shootings into the air is extremely dangerous to the recipient that mostly likely will receive a head wound. In 1960 my father's friend after a few drinks at the town's cantina to prove his masculinity shot up his 44 caliber pistol then resumed drinking with the men. The following day my father was shocked to learn that the son of one of the guys at the cantina was the recipient of one of the bullets that entered the top of his head killing him instantly.

One of my friends got shot in the head by a lost bullet at a house party when we were in College. The bullet came through the roof and got stuck on his brain. It didn't kill him but he lost his ability to talk, walk and it aged his body incredibly. He looked 55 by the time he was 25. He was the bread winner in his family too. Please don't do this, it can be life changing not just for the person getting hit but by all his loved ones.

In the UK we don't generally have guns so we go outside and fire water pistols into the air, fortunately we all carry umbrellas and/or wear bowler hats so the returning water spray isn't a big deal.

That's such a terrifying idea. Like you're just standing there minding your own business, a long future ahead of you, and suddenly and unpredictably it all ends for absolutely no reason, because of someone else celebrating some miles away.

Shannon’s Law needs to be implemented country wide for the USA Absolutely unfathomable the pain her parents must have felt

Growing up, someone across the street from me would fire bullets in the air every Wednesday, and I was always curious how dangerous it was. Had a feeling it was stupid

I’ve always wondered about that. You don’t hear too often about people being killed from bullets falling out of the sky. I’ve always thought shooting a live round in the air was a stupid thing to do regardless because of the risk

This happened in 2015 MIDLOTHIAN, Va. - When a stray bullet pierced the top of Brendon Mackey's head, the 7-year-old was on his way to a July Fourth fireworks celebration with his dad and other family members. He died the next day in a Richmond hospital, a bullet lodged at the base of his skull, sparking a methodical, door-to-door search for a most elusive killer: celebratory gunfire.

On 4th of July one year, I could hear them cutting down through the trees I was under and one hit the sheet metal porch and left a dent. Couldn't tell where it came from because it seemed like half the town lit-up at dark. There were fireworks too.

It’s extremely ironic that random gunfire isn’t illegal everywhere. “But officer I wasn’t *aiming* at him, he just happened to be in the falling trajectory of the bullet”

I had debated this to my friend for literally years now that falling bullets are dangerous. I hope this helps him understand.

3:27 „a velocity which increases by 9.81 m/s - every second“. It really took me until today to understand how the m/s^2 unit used for measuring acceleration works 🤯🤦‍♂️

Several years ago I was the RN in the ER of a small hospital when an older man was brought in from a local golf course with an arm injury. The arm had been bandaged by the EMS so my concern was his overall condition since he was a heart patient. After assuring he was stable I removed the dressing while interviewing him to see how he was injured. I seems he was sitting in an open golf cart and was resting his arm on his leg when he suddenly got a severe pain in his arm just above his wrist. Upon removing the dressing, I discovered a round "hole" in his arm that went completely thru his arm. I recognized it as a bullet wound. Upon further examination he complained of his leg hurting. He had blood on his pants which I thought came from his arm but after removing his pants I discovered another entry wound and a thru and thru leg wound. When examining his pants I found a hole in the top of the leg but not in the bottom. Since the was now stable , I called the golf course and talked to the police who were there and asked if they had looked in the golf cart. They had not so I asked if they would because I believed this man had been shot. They found a bloody 223 cal bullet on the floor of the cart. The bullet came down almost vertically with enough force to go thru his arm, the first layer of his pants, thru his leg but could not go thru the other part of his pants. When he stood up to get out of the cart the bullet fell out of the leg of his pants onto the floor of the cart. If I wasn't there I would have a hard time to believe it but it happened. You can't make this stuff up.

As a roofer, I’ve found 2 bullets buried 1/3 of the way into shingles. One was 9mm the other was .380 and the .380 had a shallow angle. The 9mm was almost straight into the roof. Neither one went through 2 layers of roof shingles.

I used to do roofing repairs professionally. It wasn't uncommon to find bullets in the roofing materials. Usually, it did cause a leak but rarely went through the wood.

I just today questioned myself with that. I wasn't sure about the answer, now I am.

Midnight on New Years or 0000 hrs in Vietnam 1968 an m-60 gunner on our perimeter decided to fire straight in the air leaving a nice tracer trail. This also prompted two more perimeter guards to fire their m-60’s straight up. When I grabbed and put on my steel pot and stood straight up a couple of my squad mates laughed until the morning that is when two of those 7.62 mm rounds were found having gone through the corrugated metal roof and stuck in the wooden floor of the only “building” in the base camp as the rest were 6 man tents on dirt.

When I was a kid, was hit by a falling bullet on my foot, I just had a stinging effect that was over in seconds, this made me believe that they were not dangerous. I now understand that it depends on many factors.

Working as a commercial roofer in mostly larger cities on the east coast of the US you wouldn’t believe how many bullets I pull out of roofs or how many holes I fix where the round punches clean through. I’ve seen pass throughs on metal, shingles and other asphalt roofs and membrane systems. I can’t imagine the stupidity required to fire rounds into the air

Debunking the debunkers. The Myth Busters show did a whole episode about this exact subject, and what they found was a bit different. If the bullet was fired exactly vertical (within 3 degrees), then yes the bullet would come down at a fairly slow speed. But you had to fire the gun exactly straight up vertical. If the gun was angled slightly off of vertical when fired, then the story changes drastically. Fired at an angle the bullet travels in a parabolic arc, and can come down with enough speed to kill. Firing straight up allows the bullet to be affected by Earth's gravity, and is slowed down to a slow speed where air resistance doesn't allow gravity to accelerate the bullet very fast. But on a parabolic arc (fired slightly off of vertical) the bullet never gains enough altitude for Earth's gravity to slow down the bullet, so when this bullet finally lands, it is still going at a dangerous speed. Manually holding a gun and firing it at an angle close enough to vertical to cause the bullet to slow down enough to be harmless is very difficult, and probably most people couldn't fire the gun close enough to vertical to cause the bullet to be harmless. So, for the most part, people who randomly fire guns into the air are causing a dangerous situation, and shouldn't.

That's why we have "Shannon's Law" here in Arizona... too bad someone had to lose their life for this to become a law! It should be law across the US!

I seem to recall the Mythbusters doing this one, reaching the conclusion that a bullet shot straight up won't necessarily fall with lethal velocity, but at an angle it can keep its spin and remain sufficiently dangerous.

Many years ago I was just getting in my truck to go to lunch. I was in the parking lot of my company which was located about a half mile from a gravel pit where the local Sheriff's had a makeshift shooting range for the deputies. I could hear the shooting but it was a normal thing so I didn't pay any attention to it. Suddenly, I was hit in my upper back, right of my spine and it knocked my into the side of my truck. I looked down and there was a .40 bullet laying on the pavement. I later proved in a court like meeting with the Sheriff and the county attorney that the officers involved were shooting up in the air at an angle of approximately 40 degrees. The bullet matched one of the deputy's weapon. I still have the bullet. The bullet made it through tall pine trees on top of the hill and struck me unimpeded. It was late fall and I was wearing a heavy t-shirt, flannel shirt and a heavy leather flight jacket. I had a bruise that went from the impact point to below my buttocks on the right side. It hurt like hell and I'm pretty sure if it hadn't been for the leather jacket, it would have slightly penetrated my skin. The jacket still has the impression of the bullet over 30 years later.

When I was young I was struck in the head by a falling bullet and unfortunately died. I now roam the internet warning people of this danger in the comments section.

I was taking out the trash in an apartment complex in a not so great area of Phoenix. I'm about halfway through the parking lot, heading to the dumpster, when I hear a metallic clinking sound on the ground directly behind me. I look back and theres a fresh bullet on the ground right behind me. I pick it up and it looks like a .45, still warm. If I would have come out 2 seconds later than I did, I would have got it. I also have a video on my channel of being pinned down behind some bushes while hiking through the desert north of Phoenix as bullets are loudly whizzing right over my head, and landing on the ground around me, as bullets seemed to be coming from everywhere by people who pulled up, hopped out, and just started shooting into my area without seeing me. It would be the second video on my channel where I'm nearly hit by stray bullets in the desert north of Phoenix. The first one I suddenly seemed to be in the middle of a shootout in the middle of nowhere, after not seeing a person for miles. Machine gun fire, shotguns, you name it were going off everywhere around me by what seemed like two groups firing at each other, while completely hidden in the large bushes all around me. I never saw one of them and all the shooting stopped as quickly as it started.

I was an Airforce helicopter engineer doing a stint in Iraq at Basra Airbase around 2008. I was sat in the office doing my paperwork when the fan next to me made a loud noise and dust kicked up around it. Turns out a football celebration bullet had returned to earth down through the roof of the cabin and hit the fan. We had over 400 rockets fired at the base while I was there but that stray bullet was the most memorable.

In 2007, a cop of Macau fired 5 rounds into the air during a street protest and one of the bullet hit a random guy's chest 300m away which almost killed him. It definitely can be lethal.

6:40 ... I'm Iraqi, every time the national football team wins the ER is flooded with cases of people (usually children) hit with falling stray bullets from the celebrations. But it has been decreasing over the past couple years so that's good.

I can't even fathom how people can be so stupid that they would do this. Even as a little kid I always thought "isn"t it gonna fall down and hurt somebody?" Nice to see a video about it.

YOU are accountable for EVERY round that leaves YOUR gun.

I work in a rail yard just south of Chicago and on July 4th and New years you could hear the falling bullets hitting containers and trains all around us, luckily our supervisors dont have a problem with us just staying inside for like an hour until the shots die down. Be safe out there guys.

It's simple math and physics. The weight of the object and how fast it is falling. It reaches maximum velocity after falling about 1500 feet, going higher doesn't make it fall any faster.

Here in Atlanta we've had more than one person killed in their home when a bullet came through the roof. It's frightening. On an unrelated note talking about escape velocity it's always fascinated me to think that the first man-made object that was ever put into orbit is almost certainly a manhole cover. Google it it's a great story.

I live in a state with lots of guns (Kentucky). This is a surprisingly common warning to find in stores and hear in gun-savvy groups. When I bought my first AR the clerk even casually mentioned not to fire it into the air. Frankly, I am of the mind we need to teach basic gun safety in schools in areas with as many guns as ours (i.e. 5 rules of firearm safety and related safety habits like this). I even remember after one of the controversial police shootings lately that a news anchor questioned why the officer didnt fire a warning shot into the air (despite the event occuring in a densely populated suburb). My friends and I laughed at the idiotic suggestion, but thinking about it, the thought that seems common sense to us may not be so obvious to those who have seldom been around guns.

About 40 years ago, an acquaintance was watching July 4th fireworks when he was struck by a celebratory shot from a .45 automatic fired about 2 blocks away. He was hit in the leg and suffered roughly a 30% permanent disability due to muscle and nerve damage in his lower leg, resulting in a dropped foot. Police caught the culprit, who was tried and convicted and served a multi-year prison sentence.

When the bullet stops at the peak of its arch, all its velocity has changed into potential energy, which's amount is equal to the velocity energy when the bullet was shot. Once the bullet starts falling all the potential energy changes back to velocity and when the bullet hits the ground it's velocity energy is roughly the same as when it was shot.

Quality video! the look at 5:50 is priceless 😄

Shannon Smith, mentioned in this video, was the daughter of our neighbor, just two houses away. She was only 14 when a bullet "fell out of the sky" and ended her life. Maybe this video will make a few people think before shooting carelessly into the air.

While walking through the woods one sunny spring afternoon I heard shots in the distance and didn't think anything of it. They were a long way off and gunfire is pretty common. Then there was a crack and my chest hurt. A 38/357 round fell from probably half a mile off, skimmed/ricocheted off a tree, and hit me square in the chest. Still have the bullet.

in Lebanon, its dangerous to go out during world cup season because whenever a team scores the fans will shoot with kalashnikov. its also common in weddings, burials especially when the deceased is young, and when they announce the results of school graduation, in new years celebration, and when theres a fight between two neighborhoods

In Nevada USA . Randomly firing a gun has been illegal since the 1800s. Specifically llegal to shoot out houses as well. 😮

Falling arrows are far scarier. My dad shot an arrow in the air in the back yard when I was a kid and we all ran inside the house. Arrow landed in our neighbors back yard in the awning of back door! Nobody was home so my dad jumped the fence to pull out the arrow and told me that was incredibly stupid thing he did. Lol

I know of a case where a kid playing outside climbing a wall suddenly fell while his parents were having a BBQ on new years. turned out a bullet that someone shot in the air came down and hit the kid in the head killing him.

I Always wondered about that. Thanks for the video.
