I doubt that many, if any at all, can falling bullets even kill you? Wouldn't air resistance deaccelerate the bullet enough for it to be non-lethal? I remember watching an episode where some guys tested if a falling bullet could kill you, and the chances were rather low unless you were really unlucky.
Yeah , they fall at terminal velocity not muzzle velocity . That said , this is still retarded as shit .

Only if they're fired straight up, otherwise they will still have some velocity from the shot.
If we're splitting hairs - in this speculative - your ascertion of a flatter trajectory would jdrop into the ground before it hit a bad random impact .

Would hurt like a bitch, though.
I googled it one time. No one is really sure. There are a lot of anecdotal incidents of it supposedly happening, but no one really knows exactly how vertical those bullets were fired since it wasn't controlled conditions. The guys who have tried under controlled conditions usually lose their bullets, much less hit anything.
Im sure hail stones and pennies dropped from skyscrapers have the potential to be lethal if dropped on someones skull.
Do you know what terminal velocity is?
Everything has a set falling speed.
Myth busters.
It doesn't.
No different than dropping a coin off of a building.
People have been killed this way.
I've read that they can knock a person out, but will be going at very subsonic velocities so not very lethal.
