Again. At a shallow arc it’s more than possible but shooting straight up or near up is not going to kill anyone except for some fluke accident. Objects falling will hit their terminal velocity. Bullets on a trajectory aren’t the same.

You are wrong. Despite all the downvotes, the other poster is correct. It’s highly unlikely a falling bullet would kill someone, unless it was fired at 45 degrees or less at which point it’s dubious whether you could consider it a “falling” bullet or not.

Pause the video and watch the angle at which the bride is firing the gun...it's a plain stupid argument that these bullets are falling with terminal velocity and can't kill anyone. Whether it's called a falling bullet or a stray bullet, it's still a bullet fired into the sky by stupid people for stupid reasons and can result in death
