Shooting Bullets in the Air: The Dangerous Truth Revealed

  • Опубликовано: 25 июл 2023
  • In this video, we'll explore the dangers of shooting in the air. Contrary to popular belief, bullets don't go to space when they're fired upwards. Instead, they reach a maximum height and then fall back to Earth. This can be dangerous, as falling bullets can still cause serious injuries or death.
    We'll discuss the physics of falling bullets, as well as some real-world examples of people who have been injured or killed by falling bullets. We'll also talk about why it's important to never shoot a gun upwards, even if you think you're aiming high enough.
    So if you're ever thinking about shooting a gun in the air, please think again. It's not worth the risk.

I was going to visit my cousin and about 10 meters from his front door I suddenly heard a loud buzzing...since I didn't know what it was at the time I assumed it was a wasp or something...I looked around and was worried I might get stung by it...I suddenly heard the buzzing louder and approached the curb and wondered what that was.. suddenly the projectile hit the ground in front of me and smashed a rock.. then I knew it must be a bullet from their gun which almost hit me could have.. if that happened no one could help me because my cousin and his family weren't home which I didn't know at the time.. 💀

    Mythbusters did a test to find the exact terminal velocity for various types of bullet and found out that all bullets tumbling down at non-lethal velocity. They also did test firing live rounds vertically and found bullets buried roughly 2 inches in the ground far away from where they were shot upward.
    Bullets coming down at their terminal velocity won't be lethal but most people who are shooting guns into the air don't shoot straight up so the bullets won't reach zero velocity and will retain their lethality when they hit any object on the ground.

      @John23263 10 месяцев назад +148

      its true
      An individual's chance of being hit by a falling bullet is small, but if hit, the likelihood of being killed is up to five times greater, at 32 per cent, than it is from a direct gunshot. This is because injury typically occurs to the head and shoulders rather than to less critical body parts.

      Your hypothesis is flawed my good sir.

      at it.

    • @TheFunTechLab
      @TheFunTechLab 10 месяцев назад +46

      Yes, it is true,
      if we compare 100 cases of falling bullets with direct bullet injured, the percentage of people killed by falling bullets is higher than those killed by direct bullets. According to a study published in the journal "Injury Prevention", the mortality rate from falling bullets is about 32%, while the mortality rate from direct bullets is only 2%-6%. This is because falling bullets are more likely to hit people in the head or neck, which are areas where a bullet can be fatal. Additionally, people who are hit by falling bullets are often not expecting it, which means that they may not be able to take evasive action.

      Your not reading the data correctly.
      The 2 to 6 percent death rate as reported by the LA hospital does not include people who were already dead and taken directly to the morgue.
      327 people are shot in the USA daily
      117 are killed outright 35.8%
      210 survived 64.2%
      Also a lot of the info is taking about bullets shot in an arc which retain their spin and therefore are more dangerous.
      Your clip is straight up and down.

    Terminal velocity is actually alot smaller because it very rarely goes straight down, when it's on its side which is what happens basically 100% of the time the terminal velocity is alot smaller and cannot hurt someones skin. Technically the truth but very rarely does it get to that speed.

      Not to be that guy, but it has nothing to do with air resistance. When the bullet reaches its apex it loses its rotation which stabilizes the bullet and once that happens the bullet spines in whatever way the air pushes it causing the bullet to yaw.

    OK, several points:
    1. 2 km up is not space. Most commercial planes fly several times higher.
    2. A bullet going only 180 kph is unlikely to kill someone. It would likely cause an injury, even a severe injury if it hit something important, but death would be rare.
    3. Most bullets returning to earth would be going much faster than 180 kph because all those nitwits firing in the air don’t shoot exactly straight up. So the bullet goes in a sharp parabolic arc, with much less tumbling than if it goes straight up and down. So yeah, those bullets coming down would be going much faster than 180 kph and those can definitely kill.

    Another difference is shooting directly straight up in the air vs. shooting at an angle aimed upwards. The angled shot would not reach as high of an altitude but either way the air drag resistance on the bullet falling down can cause it to fall sideways rather than falling pointing straight down.

    Thing is, bullets have a lower terminal velocity when fired directly upwards, thus meaning a bullet shot straight up properly is actually a lot safer, though it is still falling lead, so one should likely watch out.

    • @benjaminmudd2071

      That is not how terminal velocity works. Bullets are fired faster than their terminal velocity. Terminal velocity is the maximum velocity an object in FREE FALL will reach. Terminal velocity does not change depending on the direction an object is sent, it is entirely based on mass alone. Even air resistance is supposed to be ignored when calculating true terminal velocity.

    I knew about this when my Dad started shoving us inside the house when our neighbor started shooting the air from his backyard for reasons unknown. I asked what was going on and he told me that he was shooting the air and that eventually, that thing is going to come back down.

    Lived near a trailer park growing up and there was a large group of guys who would sit around in that trailer park and drink and fire guns up into the air, they ended up killing a 7 year old girl from bullets piercing the thing metal of the roof above her bedroom so yeah, they can definitely kill people

    Quite a few things wrong here.
    1. It travels ~2600 fps. Give or take a few fps. Not km/h
    2. Like someone else stated, as it falls it tumbles therefore creating more drag. So less fps while falling.
    3. Iirc, mythbusters did a segment about shooting into the air to see how deadly it is. Now idk how tough a dried lakebed is in cali (I think this is where they shot the episode) but it went less than an inch into the ground.
    4. I kinda agree it could cause minor to major bodily harm depending where it lands. Your arm vs. Your eye.
    5. Id love to see an ak47 shoot 2km. Effective range on same plane as the horizon is roughly 400 yards/ meters. Im sure 700 yards/meters it may still be lethal. But 2km? Especially if your shooting into the air. Fighting gravity head on??? Yea can you do a live fire test? Instead of this animation.

      5. The definition of effective range is: The maximum distance at which a weapon may be expected to be accurate and achieve the desired effect.
      It doesn't mean that the bullet just stops existing after 400 meters and it is still absolutely deadly past that range. What it means is, that you're unlikely to hit your target past that range.
      Shot vertically a bullet can reach the altitude of 2 km without a problem, unless you hit a bird on the way lol

      It was a salt basin iirc. Even less than an inch would be painful, but it would hurt far more if it hit an area close to bone since skin and muscle are more elastic.
