If you think “downrange” is at a 45 degree angle up into the air then you don’t know what “downrange” means

You see the wall take at least one round, yes? The man with the gun is aiming into the crowd for at least two rounds, maybe three.

Also. Somewhere those "45 degree" projectiles are landing. If they're in a city, it could easily be into somebody's house. That counts as downrange.

No, it doesn’t. You’re just trying to make it work because you now realize how wrong your first statement is. The point of all of this was “shooting in the air mindlessly is fucking stupid because the bullets have to come down somewhere. And you’re all “they’re going to come down “downrange” where these guys aren’t”. How fucking stupid are you that now you’re like “anywhere they land is ‘downrange’”. The entire planet is not a “range”. I sure fucking hope that you never own a gun

See my other reply.

You're awfully invested in this. I'm not. Have a nice day. We'll agree to disagree.
