My brother told me to shoot in the sky and the bullet went in my neck i didn't go to the hospital but i was fine and there was a hole in my neck it healed
@@kokogamer_ .40 s&w is not lethal but harmful there's bullets that police use to stop someone possible 415 or a 5150 that could potentially harm someone before switching to lethal rounds
Me and my wife was literally having a conversation about this last night because it was new years eve and people definitely fire they gun in the air then I just randomly ran into this video
@@triplezgames3882you do realize how dull you have to be to believe something that weighs a few grams is gonna greatly out pace the terminal velocity of an adult human falling……
Can't comprehend/ don't care about the consequences and they won't be found because police are more worried about safer things they could be doing today.
Btw bullets almost always fall on their sides which slows them down a lot, the ones that usually kill people are fired at an angle so they maintain momentum and their rotation
Thank you, a lot of people don’t know that’s the reason why shooting ranges have rules starting the fire arm needs to be pointing upwards when not in use. Thanks for sharing
Yeah the video is wrong about shooting straight up that’s why in those videos where theyre celebrating with AKs in the Middle East they don’t go below a certain angle cause then it’s dangerous
Not just that, if i remember correctly, the Mythbusters actually did an experiment on the matter, and they found that the bullets tend to not come straight down, but instead, tend to experience some amount of sidewards motion. Which makes sense, of course. Stuff like wind exists.
@Chrischi3TutorialLPs not just that. It will be almost impossible without a rig to shoot straight up, and if you are even a fraction of a degree off, that bullet is gonna travel the speed it left the gun at.
the video is wrong. If a bullet were to reach a height where it lost all its force it would essentially be like dropping a bullet from that height. Its not killing anyone. Im amazed this many adults don't know basic physics
@@LucasuioptuCalunga have you never heard the term “used to”? It’s just the past tense of use. If you “use” something, you’re putting it to work. So think of it is something you put to work in the past.
@@Flip11111Hey, it’s humor. Context clues. They meant that if the person is saying "used to", it’s likely that the grandpa died in doing so. Since he’s apparently not playing gravity roulette anymore. Hence the abrupt cutoff of the sentence ("tha-")
@@singingcat02 oh my gosh. Thank you for that because honestly I didn’t even notice that at first I think it was just way too early in the morning and I thought the dash was a full lowercase “t” I fully accept that I made a fool of myself there.
Bullets do not self-correct on the decent (pointy side no go down). This means that the bullet would tumble. This increases air resistance significantly. While it will still be moving quick, it wouldn’t do what was stated in the video. EDIT: it is well documented that, as they lose velocity, they tumble. this is seen even when shooting parallel to the ground. Disclaimer: DO NOT SHOOT UP IN THE AIR. it can possibly injure someone still.
Does it not self-correct or does it tumble? You can't have both cus once it tumbles it starts catching uneven drag which then slows down one side more than the other until it finds an equilibrium. That is going to be the path of least resistance, which is most likely the bullet pointing downwards since it's designed to travel very efficiently that way.
@@reznovvazileski3193it does not self correct. When it’s shot out of a gun the rifling is what keeps it aligned. Without the rotational acceleration it’s much harder to self align
@@reznovvazileski3193 incorrect. If it does not self correct it will tumble. They are one in the same in simple terms. A weird thing about arodynamics is depending on the speed different shapes are needed. At at low speeds bullets are not arodynamic. This results in the bullets tumbling and causing much lower speeds at whats its falling making it non lethal levels. This entire idea only is possible if rotation of the bullets never stop. But the very same forces that stop the bullets allowing them to fall back down also slow the rotational speed. Basically its impossible for terminal velocity of a bullet to kill someone (unless it's a very large calibre where it could be possible)
Mythbusters did a episode on this.. I miss mythbusters so much! when shooting straight up the bullet doesn't point down it destabilizes,spins flips and ends up falling sideways or in ways that destroy the air resistance so it doesn't come down as fast as it went up. it could still hurt someone but I think they concluded it probably wouldnt kill someone... shooting it at a angle far away 45 degree angle for example would be different as the bullet would stay stabilized the whole way.
True, zack really disappoint me this time for giving false information to people and causing unnecessary fear. Makes me think that zack just copy and paste information without doing proper research
while he is wrong on firing straight up. dangerous rogue bullets come from firing mostly up but where the bullet maintains a ballistic arc and rotational stabilization.
@@untitledchanneI well sadly I know several people that wouldn’t be able to eat without hunting and I’d much rather not be mauled by wild dogs. So I’ll keep my 5.56
Fun fact, even if your shooting straight into the air the bullet won't come straight back down, they can travel pretty far actually, people have died from bullets that where shot straight up and didn't even know someone was shooting a gun
1. Animator used a rifle bullet for a revolver. 2. Bullets generally fall tumbling on their sides at much lower speeds. The real danger here is long diagonal ballistic shots that remain spin-stabilized or retain horizontal velocity.
Do consider that the altitude the bullet travels to is enough to expose it to strong winds, which can carry it up to 2 miles away from the shooting location. It won't fall straight back down like most people think. Also, the terminal velocity is dependent on the bullet falling head-down, which will probably not happen, as the bullet won't be stable lacking the "spin" caused by the gun's rifling when falling. It's more likely that the bullet will start to tumble, reducing it's speed greatly. It'll also probably fall on it's side or back due to the tumbling, further reducing it's lethality. TL;DR The bullet won't fall straight back down and it won't do so at terminal velocity. BUT IT WILL DO SO AT ENOUGH OF A SPEED TO DO HARM, SO DON'T FIRE YOUR GUN INTO THE AIR, IF YOU DO PLEASE USE BLANKS.
@dannynorton530 there was a case in arizona with a 14 year old girl named Shannon Smith who was unfortunately killed by a bullet fired into the air, we have a law about it here now called Shannons law
A bullet falling straight down actually has a slow terminal velocity because it tumbles a lot. Its only dangerous when it's falling at an angle where it cAn keep its horizontal velocity
Fun fact. A 9mm round has a terminal velocity of about 10x less than what it is when fired when leaving the muzzle. Technically, if you shoot a 9mm pistol directly up, and somehow predict (or in the extremely unlikely scenario that it just accidentaly happens to) land on someone’s head, it’s unlikely to actually go through. A rifle round may, though. Shoot blanks in the air instead!
Average American celebrations: Until the bullets come back Edit: I didn't know about the "gun traditions" of other countries, and the term "gun" is a big part in American steriotypes, that's why i wrote "American", good day.
And that is why it's illegal. Especially since a small angle deviation upon firing can make the bullets travel an incredible distance. You have very limited control on what or who the bullets may hit. Unless you shot it perfectly straight up, you have no idea where the bullet will end up.
@@squallloire lmao thats not how that works, the earth is constantly rotating and so is everything on it, including you and the bullet, so the bullet will not change its position relative to the earth without outside forces affecting it
Lmao « probably a .45 ACP revolver » no, it’s very unlikely as .45 ACP is a rimless cartridge designed for self-loading firearms and very few revolvers are chambered for it. You would know this if you had a clue about firearms. And btw, there’s no way you can tell it’s .308 caliber by looking at it. It’s just a normal spitzer bullet 😐.
This happened in my country once There was a celebration and a guy was shooting in the air, the bullet traveled a few km and hit a guy in bedroom doing misionari straight in the butthole
The Mythbusters disproved this, but only for straight up. When the bullet slows down, it stops spinning and tumbles down mostly sideways. It'll hurt, but not kill. But if the gun is fired at enough of an angle, the bullet will maintain speed and spin and arc down with deadly force.
I remember they called the myth as all 3 "busted, plausible, and comfirmed". Busted that you can not shoot straight up: plausible that it does have lethal velocity when fired at an angle: and confirmed because there were reports of deaths because of this.
@@Killerknight007 wait, how is it both Plausible and Confirmed? Plausible is usually when they test and find out it is possible, but can't find an actually real world occurrence.
@@CouchPotatorit's because "straight up" can't be realistically achieved, but people do shoot "up" and hit people. When a myths premise is wrong, but with a little wiggle room it could happen, that's often plausible. And it's been documented so it's also confirmed
@@valkieheh Yeah, as far as I know, something like a .50 could rip you in half if shot straight up. Bullets could go at least 91 metres (150 feet) per second when falling, which could penetrate the skull. The reason there are few documented cases is because these kind of deaths are hard to confirm, but they definitely happen.
@@s0lidl3m0nadedotorg4It’s because they very rarely happen. Because only large calibers from long guns can have the force needed to pierce the skull. And those are expensive. Also the chance of it hitting someone is incredibly low. That being said it is asinine to shoot a gun in the air in an area that is even POSSIBLY inhabited by people anywhere near. I didn’t say that originally and that was incredibly irresponsible.
Um, falling bullets do kill people. Now a bullet shot perfectly upright is most likely going to tumble on the way down, which will make it slower and less likely to kill. But! Unless you strap the gun to a stand like the mythbusters do for controlling variables, you're probably going to shoot at a slight angle, which lets the bullet stay stable and come down fast. This is also why most falling bullets kill people a street or two over from the person that shot it.
@@lordsrednuas falling bullet as it was shown in this video if you shoot up like that and the bullet turns down again it will not carry enough speed and energy to be able to kill because of terminal velocity but if you shoot at right angle it definitelly can but bullet shooted under angle like that is going to fly far away also you definitwlly cant shoot yourself with falling bullet there is a proof on it
